God Bless Nick.
He was the personification of kindness, warmth, hospitality, humility and selflessness.
He was a part of our family through the restaurant and his kindness to our family for over 50 years. No one could make a veal Marsala dish like Nick! My father tried veal Marsala everywhere he went, including Italy, and never found an equal. He´d proudly proclaim that Nick still made the best in the world every time.
We offer our condolences to Mike and the rest of the family.
May Nick rest in the comfort of enteral life with God. He earned it with a life in service to others.
