Not sure what to say?

Loved being at a Mining Congress with Nick. A real brother.

His legacy of a beautiful and talented family is a testament to the wonderful man that Nick was. He is always remembered with fond memories and that infectious ready smile. Love the Gunning´s

miss you everyday grandpa you were my hero

The Speers family will always remember Nick (and Diana, and their incredible family) and cherish that friendship above all from our time in the U.S. and at Arizona Opera. Generous, fund-loving ........... a "gentle" man in every sense of the word. The Balich's were a rock for us during our five years in Phoenix and will never be forgotten as major positive influences on our lives. Nick and Diana were destined to be together, and as shocking and sad as it was to lose Diana so quickly ........

Never drive past the Balich neighborhood without fondly thinking of Nick and Diane. Great friends, great family, great parents, wonderful hardworking co-workers...loved life.
Miss you guys.

Diana I am so sorry to hear about Nick. You and he were very blessed to find each other snd have such a wonderful marriage for do many years. I miss you and think about the two of you often. Patty snd Rick smith

Diana,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Nick was one of my first bosses and mentors. He was willing to take a chance on a female auditor on his team when that was simply unheard of. I have never seen such a great jitterbug dancer in my life! May he rest in peace and may you and your family find the courage and strength you need to get through this very difficult time.

Thank all of you who signed Nick's guest book. You have no idea how much everything has meant to all of us. Our Nick, Our husband, Our Father...what a guy. He will be missed all of our lives. Blessings to each and everyone of you. Diana Balich
