Although due to my living in Kentucky for 14 years I have not been able to see my Uncle Nicky for awhile, he has always been close to some of us. My grandfather, Harold Kelley married his mother and raised him as though he was his own son. My mother, Judy, and aunts Margie, Maureen, and Carolyn were also his step sisters (along with Susan). They will never forget him. God Bless, Uncle Nicky.

We are saddened to hear of the loss of Fr Nick. He was a good friend and neighbor to us and our 3 children. Our dog Layna will also miss his company and many “treats” he would give her. Rest in Peace Fr Nick.

I am proud to have been part of the "First Knights", the Catholic Memorial High School, class of 1961... Nick was famous for his "acute sense of humor", and his devotion to mankind...
The First Knights are greatly diminished.
