To the LaPenta Family:
I remember Nick as my Sunday school teacher, and as one of the rocks of North United Methodist Church. He was a true patriot both in his military service and in his opposition to the Iraq war. We didn't always agree, but I know that everything he did, he did out of a sense of duty to country and family, and love for his church. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

To my dear friends, Mrs LaPenta, Arlene,Jimmy and Andy,
Always a smile, a joke, a quick two-step or waltz, such was a devoted husband, father and friend. That devotion to God, country and heritage is remarkable and well worth continuing in legacy, as I know it already is. A lot to step up to? You bet, but we are all so richly blessed for having been shown this example of such an honorable man. Break into some of the loudest Italian voices and song to celebrate his life.
He will be ...
