Nicholas G. Albanese

Nick was an important friend to myself and to my husband, George. I say: we grew up together in social work as we both worked in Child Welfare. We enjoyed his humor, his insight, his take on the world. I felt that we recognized one another for who we were, a rare thing to happen. I think of Nick often. Virginia and I stay in touch. I value her insight and values as with Nick. George talked with Nick on athe phone on the day that he died. George treasured the memory of that conversation.

I was just thinking about Nick the other day. So sorry for your loss. Nick was a great person and I continue to preach his "just be nice" philosophy to this day as the basis for social work practice.

Nick's belief " just be nice to people" also spoke of his integrity which was at his core. George's fondest memories of his social work career are always in that DSS time that he and Nick worked together. Throughout all the changes that we have seen in the delivery of human services, we both hark back to these shared values and their importance.

I am so glad we got to spend time together last Spring. Please know you are in my thoughts.

We are thinking of you at this time. We are so glad that your daughters could get there in spite of the weather conditions.

Our condolences for your loss. You seemed to have so much fun together in your love of humor, opera and travel. It is hard to lose a best friend.

Lisa and Family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Dad. May The Good Lord comfort you, and you, each other, in this hour of sadness.
