My best friend. Nick was like a brother to me and I will miss him every day as long as I live. We shared so many happy times and good times together. Nick loved and respected his parents and was a very caring and genuine person. He always cheered me up and whenever I was with him I felt happy and content. He loved his daughter with all his heart! He will surely be missed by many. I will keep him alive telling our stories as that was his favorite thing to do...remimising about good times past and present. I feel honored and glad he was a part of my life for the past 25 years! I love you Nick Staub...RIP.
