Visiting Nino and Nina was always a highlight of my visits to Kearney. Just the simple act of sitting in their living room, visiting and reminiscing and enjoying a cold beer provided a warm loving safe haven which I really enjoyed and will miss. I will really miss Nino and his friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with Nina and her family.

When I was younger my parents visted Phillip house many times as well him visiting our house. He always laughed when he gave me hot peppers. I feel he was a friend and will miss him in my heart for all times. My thoughts are with the family and I pray for better times in the future.
