Nick, I've been thinking of you so often in the last couple of weeks since my good friend Dawn Jacobs let me know of your passing. I came to work for Popeye's in the late 80's and early ninety's. You were always so kind to me and my daughter Jamie, she worked for you also.I told Dawn Lake Geneva will never be the same.I returned to Popeye's so many times as I was growing and opening my new business's and you always sat with me and gave me such great advice. You were a mentor to me and you will remain in my heart forever.My prayers to Veronica.....Nick always tried to tell me how to make those Greek cookies, mine turned out terrible. And to your children.....how proud he was of all of you.

Nick Anagnos is a prince of man that I will never forget. He always made people feel special, ran a great restaurant and saloon, and always spoke his mind. There was never a doubt about what Nick was thinking. He was inspiration to many people and helped a great many of us get started in life with jobs at Popeye's and Papouli's. I had a great time working for him (most of the time, ha ha) and will cherish the wonderful times and hearty laughs I shared with Nick.

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I USED TO WORK FOR NICK AT POPEYE'S. THOUGH HE YELLED AT ME A LOT, I KNOW HE WAS JUST TRYING TO TEACH ME AS HE JUST LIKE ME WAS A VERY OVER-COMPASSIONATE GUY. THE ALMOST 6 YEARS I WORKED THERE WERE THE BEST! I NEVER GOT OVER MY JOB LOSS THERE. NICK WAS LIKE A DAD TO ME. I NEVER GOT TO TELL HIM THAT. BUT I KNOW HE IS LOOKING DOWN ON ME. THANKS NICK FOR LETTING ME WORK AT POPEYE'S!

When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We'll see a picture, hear a song, and it’s just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us.
Our deepest sympathy.

I was a little girl when I met Nick. I grew up with the knowing that he was always in my corner. My corner is feeling empty right now but my heart is full of everlasting love.
To the family, know that people around the world are sharing in your pain at this time and we hope to ease yours if only a little bit. Your husband, father, grandfather, friend, will be missed. Here's to you Nick, see you when I get there. Tell my Dad hi for me. Sandy Fry , Jamaica, West Indies.

This is such a shock. Nick was a major influence in my life and the lives of countless others. My sadness is made worse by my failure to make an effort to see him, and Ronnie, more often, which I hope is a lesson to everyone: stay in touch with those that matter in your lives. Nick mattered. God bless and my deepest condolences to Nicki, Valerie and "the boys".
