Not sure what to say?

Dear Aunt Jo, Debbie & Tammy,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Nick. He will always be fondly remembered as will you all. Keeping your family in my prayers.

Meredith, we are so sorry for your loss. Nick was such a wonderful man and we are so honored to have known him for so many years. His smile would light up a room. Prayers to Debbie and Tammy for the loss of your father, and all of Nick's family during this difficult time, and always. We love you all, and we will miss Nick.

It has been so many years ago when I met Meredith, Debbie, Tammy, and Nick at the Loyal Oak Swim Club. We went every weekend until they closed. I would run into Meredith off and on after that. I just saw Nick and Meredith a couple of months ago at the Huntington Bank in Barberton. My sympathy goes out to her and Debbie and Tammy and their families.

I am so sorry for you loss. He was such a nice Man. I will always remember his Baklava and how it was the best I ever tasted. My heart hurts for All of You. God gained another Angel for sure. God Bless and many prayers.

In this beautiful obit covering Nick's life, one thing was left out . . . Nick's devotion to his mother-in-law, Alberta Hawse.

Can't help but imagine Alberta "being there" when Nick crossed-over to be with the Lord. And my sympathy is with all the family who he now leaves behind . . . for...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
