Earlier today
We are truly heartbroken over the loss of our dear Uncle Nick, a devoted husband, proud father and grandfather, and one of the most knowledgeable and quick-witted storytellers I´ve ever known. Growing up, I genuinely admired him and looked up to him in so many ways. The way he loved and protected his family, the pride he took in his children and grandchildren, and the strength, humor, and kindness he carried himself with. I always hoped to be more like him. His warmth touched all of us deeply, and his legacy will continue to live on through the beautiful family he built and loved so much.
With love,
Demetri, Susan, and Alec
