Four years ago today our lives were forever changed when you left this life much too early. Even though you no longer walk among us, you are still very much present in our day to day lives. Your sons are living testament to the legacy you left behind. You are remembered every day not only by myself, but by all of your family and friends who so fondly remember you. I often wish that I could go back in time and be able to change the events of that fateful day, but that is only wishful thinking on my part. I only have my memories of you to comfort me in the dark times. Just know Nicholas that you are truly missed and loved.
Love Dad

They say that time heals all wounds, but it certainly can not fill the emptiness that we feel when our loved ones pass on. It's been one year since you left us. Sometimes it feels like an eternity and other times like it was only yesterday. We all miss you Nick and hold close the memories we have. I love you Nick!
Merry Christmas

We will always remember the day you were born Nick, Super Bowl Sunday 1982. Even though we hadn't seen you since your brother Luke's wedding , we thought of you & Keri & the boys often. We always enjoyed seeing the pictures of your Beautiful Family (Finn & Felix), that you & Keri shared on Facebook . It breaks our hearts that you are longer here & your passing has affected so many people. You were a true Hero donating your organs so others could have the Gift of Life. We love you Nick ! God Bless You, Keri, Finn & Felix

Keri,

I am so sorry for your loss. Nick was a great guy, and one of the main reasons I loved going to work each day at Hyalite Elementary. Memories of his great personality and the endless pranks we pulled on unsuspecting coworkers will be something I will cherish forever. May God give you the strength and courage to face each day moving forward. Hold tight to your little boys and help them grow to be great guys like their father.
