Prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Nick Messina. I worked with Nick for 3 years down at IBM on So. 10th Street. This was what I called the good ole days at IBM when I was a newbie (85-87). He was one of the nicest guys and would go out of his way to help anyone. So sorry to hear of his passing.
