May God rest his soul. My sincere condolences to Regis, Ann and rest of the family.

Nick was a man who always made me smile, his stories always fascinated me and his love for his daughter warmed my heart. I will miss Nick very much. I love you Ann and Regis! I will always cherish the time I was able to spend with your husband and father.

Regis, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We believed that Nick would live to be at least 100. The twinkling eyes, quick grin, wonderful stories and his imaginative and creative being will be missed.
