Met Nick when I first started at Birch. From there we just clicked immediately. This last year Nick and I had been getting really close. One thing about Nick is he could always make you laugh/smile no matter how mad you were. Nick loved his kiddos so much he did anything to make them happy. I will cherish our last memories we had together until we meet again my Friend I will truly miss you.
