Dear Family of Nick Tuscai:
While you may not know me, I did want to write how much I admired Nick as a fellow member of the class of Spring-Ford High in 1962.

He was always a kind person and very helpful to me as I used to have difficulty in gym class. As one of the co-captains of the football team, he was certainly well-respected.

This is being written in August 2017; he was on my mind today, don't know why, but the ability to look up on the computer helped me find this sad news. Please accept my condolences.
