I worked with Nick for about 5 years. He was so nice and hard working. He didn't talk much. But I do remember a conversation we had about my car. I drive a Toyota Hybrid. And he was interested about it and walked me to my car. After he retired. He would come up to Tom Thumb to say hello.His last visit was just one day before he died. He will be missed.

Nick joined our family for many holidays, the last one one year ago at Easter. He worshipped with us at S t. John's then moved with us to All SAINTS where we usually went at 8 o'clock and attended mid-week, too. I received a letter from Nick the week after Easter. which I answered. All of heaven rejoices in receiving this good and faithful servant!

I dearly loved Nick. Nick was quiet yet he could make the most appropriate and deep comments on any subject and he enjoyed making people laugh. We were fortunate in having Nick as a friend.

I worked with Nick, as I knew him. He was a man of knowledge and always seeking knowledge. You could always find Nick busy reading or studying something during his lunch time. He was a kind and sweet man and always had a smile. And in the retail business smiling was part of your job discription but not with Nick, he was just that way. Happy, helpful and honorable. I am glad to have met Nick and worked alongside of him for the 10 years we worked together. May God bless his family and my condolences go out to you. I know he will be very missed by all of you.
