I met "St. Nick" as I called him when he shopped at the pharmacy I was working at. I considered him more a friend than a customer. He always made me smile and made my day a little better when he came in. Rest in peace St. Nick.

To Nick's family:
Nick and I worked together at South Central
Bell (BellSouth), in the New Orleans Lake District of the Network Operations Department.
I have very positive memories of Nick. He
was very experienced and dedicated to his work,
the employees, and our company. Nick was one of the strongest leaders in our district.
One of my best memories was when Nick took
me to eat at his family's restaurant, Chris
Steakhouse. He was very proud to show me the place.
My condolences go out to all of you for the
recent losses of both Nick and his wife.
