Nick was a true inspiration to me as a coach. He instilled confidence in all his players and was a treasure to everyone he coached. Rest in Heaven Nick.

Niko has been my friend for almost 50 years. We met through our mutual friend Denise during our college time and had countless adventures and misadventures together, always having each other’s backs. Impossible to recount all. We also witnessed our settling down and starting our families. I am so saddened by his passing as if a part of me has returned home. Be at peace my friend and be in the light forever. Your brother Dan.
