The 4th of July Lions Club barbecue at Lansing Park just wasn't the same today without Nick. For a long time he enticed people to play the cake wheel and
made it fun. Whether selling tickets or just working at the barbecue, Nick was there with a smile and a greeting. I missed him today. A couple of weeks ago I had a good phone conversation with Nick and we reminisced-- many memories.
Rest in peace, Nick. Barb Exton

To the Barra Family, my thoughts are with you. I have the fondest of memories of my elementary years of having both your parents as my gym teachers. What a privilege to have had an opportunity to have such wonderful people be a part of my childhood memories along with high school memories. thinking of you Mary Leigh.

I'm not sure people of the Odessa/Montour area understand what a wonderful person/teacher/coach Nick was. For me he was a exceptional human being. Personally I knew him as a man who was a great leader. I worked for him during the early 60's doing house painting and sanding floors. But one of his great accomplishments was leading the 1961 football team to the only undefeated team in the history of the school. Luck for me I was the team captain.
