The first time I met Nick your family had just moved in down the street. I was walking by on my way home from school when he stepped out onto the porch to yell at his Jake. I thought he was yelling at me and ran home as fast as I could. It wasn´t the last time Jake and I would get mixed up. It was a pleasure to grow up with the Keough family as neighbors and to work with Jake up to the present. He has the same hard dad influenced work ethic my dad gave me. My condolences to your family.
