We send our love to you at this time of great loss. Uncle Nick was a good man, he was kind and gracious, not to mention a walking encyclopedia and weatherman! I have many good memories of him--from sitting on his lap eating root beer candies he would bring my cousin and me at Christmastime to getting thoughtful reminders to call the number to get my phone added to the National Do Not Call Registry to most recently having a beautiful sunset dinner on the beach. May his memory be eternal.
With love in our risen Lord,
The Grigorakos Family

My deepest sympathies to the Koutselas and Kalogeras families. He was always so fun to be with...always looked forward to being with him when we were growing up and spending time with him in Chicago and Delavan. Nick was a great guy and will be missed. RIP!!

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Nick. He and I shared many memories during our "growing up" years. I remember high school, church youth groups and especially Lake Delavan in Wisconsin. May his memory be eternal!
