Kris and family, our sincerest condolences for your loss. Nick was a terrific man and coach. He was integral in both my life and that of my brothers. We will never forget the experience of the Eastview All Star team in the summer of 1989!!

Kris, Mike, George and families:
Everyone at Green Hills today could tell you a story about Nick, and that's because Nick had a talent for making friends and sharing stories. He was always happy to take a few extra minutes to listen or reminisce. Nick was engaging; he had a good memory and he was sincere. It's no wonder he had so many friends. He will be dearly missed. We pray you and for your loss.

To Kris, and All the Lusic and Kordic Family very very sorry for your sad and terrible loss.. life is very unfair and unfortunately bad things can and do happen to good people Nick was Great people! Nick was not only a great friend and person to my family He was a great husband, Father, Brother , Grandpa (Dida),Uncle etc to all who he came across. He had a heart of gold and always went out of his way to make my family and others feel welcomed. He loved watching all his grandkids play and excel in sports and other events even came to watch my sons play baseball at Eastview All stars that´s just the type of person he was! He was a man of a few words and sometimes a man of a lot of words. But He was also sneaky funny and always made me laugh So glad we got to spend those times together and make those memories. Nick and Kris also Two of the most generous people I know always willing to treat everyone that was there whether u were family or not! It´s not too often you live 70 plus years in one town and have so many friends and people that loved you and enjoyed being around you as much as Nick did. It´s also very rare you leave this earth not having any enemies but Nick managed to do both. You will be sorely missed especially by Kris your kids,grandkids brothers and all Family and all of us fiends! Rest in Paradise buddy!

Shocked to hear of Nick's sudden passing and do not have the words to express how much he will be missed by friends and family. Have known him for many years. Since Jeff's athletic club and playing ball with and against him on the court and ball field, also lucky enough to have worked with him.
Super athlete and even better person
Heart felt condolences to Kris, George and their families
You will be missed Nick

Kris & Lusic Family,
We were profoundly overwhelmed with grief and sadness when learning of Nick´s tragic passing!
Suffice to say Nick was a most wonderful person and special friend (since the age of nine), and indubitably a great husband, father and grandfather.
Memories are so many, but near the top would be 1. Playing Pop Warner Football with Nick and I co-captains (Nick as QB, and me on defense) and being temporarily kicked out of the league our first year for fighting (along with our coaches, friends and parents racing out of the stands) after an unfair loss - it was wild typical San Pedro style; and 2. Flying to Philadelphia, PA as Calif State Biddy Basketball Champs at 12 years old, and while losing to bigger teams around the country, we fought hard while being our typical mischievous San Pedro selves :-).
I´ve arranged for a Mass in Nick´s memory and honor at the main Alter of St. Peter at St Peter´s Basilica in Vatican City by a dear Monsignor friend (who happens to lead Pope Francis´ Legal Office, and will forward the Mass Card upon receipt.
Elaine and I extend our most heartfelt condolences, as we pray for the good repose of Nick´s Soul and home in Heaven - may He RIP.

I was sorry to read about Nick's passing. I have known Nick since 15th Street School. He has always been a happy go lucky person. He always went out of his way to say hi or talk. My sincere condolences and sympathies go out to his wife and children and the Lusic family.

So many wonderful memories of growing with the Lusic's. Met them when they first arrived in San Pedro and played summertime games with all the neighborhood kids. Nick was a great guy and my prayers go out to Kris and all his family. The last time I was down in Pedro I was lucky to run into Kris and Nick at the Elks It was wonderful to see them and will always remember that. Rest in Peace Nick. You will be missed by all

San Pedro and the world will miss Nick Lusic. He touched many lives by the way he lived. Nick was good and decent man to his core. His intelligence, humility, caring and sense of humor endeared him to everyone he met. I offer my heartfelt condolences to Kris, George, Mike and families, to those he loved and to those who loved him. Our hearts are broken today, but love is eternal; he lives on in the lives of his children and grandchildren and to all who were honored to call him "friend."
And, yes, he was perhaps the best all-around athlete in the history of a San Pedro community that produced many.
Heaven has another Saint.
