Dear Jennifer and family:
My deepest heartfelt sympathies to you... I knew Nick for many, many years - from growing up in the same neighborhood through High School. May you all hold tight to the promises of our Lord, as you grieve his passing and yet... rejoice that he is 'home!'
In His love & by His grace ~ Dianna (Mays)

I fondly remember those 6am full court pick-up basketball games at the YMCA 30 years ago with Nick and his friends nice enough to include a shy, younger, skinny, glasses-wearing, average ballplayer at best. Nick was always a handful for this guy to guard, as I recollect, often eschewing a 15 ft. jump shot for a determined drive to the hoop, which is doubtless how he lived his Life. Always uncommonly upbeat, always complimentary to all of us after we finished our games, and unsurpassed sportsmanship I have seldom encountered. I'll always remember his basic kindness, warm personality, and, of course, his highly infectious smile

I believe his friend and HHS football teammate below, David Sullivan, nailed it best as far as I'm concerned, and I humbly echo his tribute, and I paraphrase ( "Nick was a good athlete but an even better person" )

Enjoy your Heavenly rewards, Pal ! Hope to see you "in the lane" again!

You are gone too soon from this earth my friend. I will always remember our periodic golf matches ( you witnessed my only hole in one ) and our work together on the YMCA Board. May you Rest in Peace and may Jennifer, Adrienne and Aaron find comfort in your eternal light. You were a good friend to me and will be missed.

I knew Nick mostly from playing football at HHS. We both played football for HHS. Nick was a good athlete but a better human being.

My condolences to the family.
