Not sure what to say?

I first met Nick on Main St. in Ann Arbor while I was in still in Junior High. I would often meet up with friends after school for fries and cokes, sometimes deserts.

On behalf of my brother and me, We were so saddened to hear of Nick´s passing. Every time I visited Michigan to see my dad, he always made sure we stopped by the restaurant to visit Nick. My dad would often tell us that there was never a time he saw Nick when Nick didn´t ask about my brother and me.

Nick was one of the kindest person, our family have wonderful memories at Jonathan´s, Thank you Nick may you rest in peace

My sincere condolences to Julie, Marianna, Katerina, Yeorgos and families. I sincerely appreciated that Nick always had time to have a chat and ask how I was doing whenever I saw him at Classic Cup. A true gentleman. He will be deeply missed. May the love and memories you all hold in your hearts always sustain you and bring you comfort.

So sorry to hear of Nikko´s passing. I remember when he first arrived from Greece. Very fond memories over the years!
