My dear friend Nick, I didn't know at the time of your passing and for that I am truly sorry I missed being with Adrea, your girls and others who loved you. So now my only way of communicating and to share my feelings are through this ancestry. I will have to look for pictures, some to put a smile on visitors faces. Everyone who knows you, knows you are always smiling, laughing and spreading laughter.
