To the Family,
Nick will be missed by all who came in contact with him. I will always have the memories of playing basketball with him at Stranahan HS and remember the great seasons we had '59 & '60. God Bless the Mazzola family.

To Laura and Everyone,
Nick's class of 1959 at Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale held their 50th Reunion June 11-14.
We had a wonderful Memorial Service to honor our 160+ Eternal Dragons on Saturday. Little did we know that our Nick was joining their ranks that day. I'm so glad we got to see him at the 2005 reunion - thanks for making sure he got here! He was a special person and we share your loss.
Sincere sympathy to the entire family.
Bev Bryan Hoppe, SHS Class of '60
