Who knew that it would be so difficult to find words to describe someone as genuine as Mr. Nickles. When I picture him in my mind all i can hear is his laugh and all his signature catch phrases! I wish that I could thank him for all the advice and words of wisdom I received from him on a daily basis, and I hope that he knows the kind of impact he's had on my life,(for only the year and a half that i've known him) that i know will last a lifetime. Although he's not here with us i see him everyday in Mrs. Nickles, Mark, Ashley and Ian and it feels as though he never left. I love you guys so much and i'm here for all of you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

I dont know where to start, Mark has been a greater father figure to me than my own, and in one year of being close to him, he made me into a better man that either of my partents could do in 17 years. I dont think ill ever get over him because just thinking of all the good times we had and could of had and all the lessons in life I could of learned breaks my heart. All the times we spent bonding, playing guitar and hockey in the back yard are memories I cherish and I will never forget. Im going to try my best to help Lesley, Ashley, little Mark, and Ian through this tough time and what ever help they need.
Im goin to miss you Big Buddy

Leslie, Mark Jr., Ashley, and Ian,
I am very sorry about your loss. I can't even put into words how I feel for you and your family. I hope you all know that Mark was an amazing man. He truly knew how to make me laugh. Ever since I was little, he made me feel welcome in your home. I still remember our "birdseed episode" and I will never forget it. I want you all to know that I am here for you.
Ashley, my best friend, I am here for you always. Don't ever hesitate to call.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I will never forget what a wonderful "second dad" Mark was.
Love Always,
Maria Makowski

I can't express how saddend I am for your loss. Mark was a great person and always knew how to make me laugh. He had too many funny lines for me to repeat them all. He was a great person, always easy going and im glad I was his friend. I will always remember him for the great times we all had with him together and one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Me and my family's prayers are with you.

Lolly, Little Mark, Ashley and Ian. I cant even put into words how sad we are for your loss. Although its been many years since we last spoke, I will never forget the memories of "the good old days" when we were younger. My fondest memories of Mark was how he would pick me up from my house every single day and we would take the drive out to Hamburg together to see you and Jason. Also, cruising in the Charger and our late night fondue parties where we would sit and talk for hours. He wont be forgotten. Love, Lisa Woo (Mediak) and Jamilee, Jessica and Jillianrose Mediak

Lesley, Mark Jr., Ashley and Ian, We cannot put in words how sorry we are for your loss. Mark was such a great man. Maria still talks about how funny he was and always joking with her and Ashley. He always made her feel right at home when she was at your house or out to dinner with you. Tony and I will always remember him for that. May God Bless your family, you are in our prayers. Love Tony, Anne, Maria, Samantha and Brian Makowski

My Uncle, my friend, my teacher, My hero. I love thinking about us playing guitar in the basement, or at the building on Grant St. and our 3 hour phone conversations. A truly amazing man, husband, and father. Sometimes, you will take for granted the people in your life, because you just count on the fact that they will always be there, because they always were before. I will miss him more than I can ever express. Aunt Lolly, Mark Jr., Ashley, and Ian, Jason and I love you guys very much.

Lolly, Mark, Ashley and Ian...... It's impossible for me to express, in words, how badly I feel for your family. Mark will be missed by everyone fortunate enough to have known him. He was like a brother to me. I learned so much from him, and I will never forget the great times that we had together. More than anything else, I will remember Mark as great husband to his wife and a great father to his kids. Mark was a good man, and I will miss him.

Right this minute, when I think about Mark, I can only remember laughing. He ALWAYS made me laugh. I have memories of bowling on Saturday nights... Mark & I would be acting like 2 children, giggling at stupid things, sometimes I think Lolly & Jerry thought we were insane....I remember spending 2 or 3 hours on the phone with him, we talked about anything & everything....he could talk.....ALOT! Anytime we were with Mark & Lolly we just had fun, even when we did nothing but sit in their backyard & kick Ian's ball back & forth! I'm going to miss the fun & laughing so much!For being the silly, goof that he was, he was such a good Dad, he took such good care of the kids & was very proud of them & he loved Lolly so much, they were just meant to be together... he was a great guy, I wish I would have told him that.
Nothing that I can put into words could ever express how sorry we both are. We loved Mark & you all have our deepest, heartfelt sympathy.
We love you guys!

From the first time we ever met Big (Mark), we made us feel welcome and part of his family.
Big is a great man, one that we will never forget. We will miss him always but I know we will see him again.
Thanks for all the great memories!
Love, Dave and Treann
