Nick had a profound interest in family history work for the living and the dead. Nick was often a lightning rod for sociality, reunions, and wholesome relationships. His profound ability to listen and relate to any person who would cross his path in life was notable and admired by those who had the pleasure to know him.

He was a friend to all and never belittled or made enemies of any person he knew. Judgment and consternation were never in his nature or demeanor.
