I just heard of Nick's death a bit earlier tonight & didn't believe it -- wrongfully incredulous at the time I said that I would verity it on-line. Needless to say we are devastated in so many ways we're in a bit of shock. How we always loved seeing him, he brought humor and a feeling of closeness to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His loved ones were truly blessed to have him as a brother, mentor, father, father-in-law, grand-father & most of all a husband & companion. Mary, our hearts go out to you, & you will be in all our prayers as will Lee, Alison and all your children and grand-children. I was fortunate to remember well his wonderful mother who greeted all us kids like my Yiayia, with unparralelled warmth, irreplaceable kindness and such comforting love. I still miss her after decades, and we're going to miss Nick forever. The Adinamises, the Papadennises, the Arvanitises & the Papacostases are families that loved and supported each other at all times that I can recall, and I never remember a bad time when they got together, only good ones. May God bring you peace & strength during these difficult times, and may Nick's memory be eternal!

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, with much love & deep, heartfelt condolences,

Always,

James D Adinamis
