Dearest Dean, Karen, Michael, James and Olivia,

I can truly say that I was fortunate enough to have known Nick, and I was blessed to have been able to say "Hello" to him one more time during Christmastime at The Wine & Whiskey Barrel.

God blessed us with a beautiful person that is gone too soon, but will never be forgotten. May God be with you through this difficult time.

Nick, may you Rest in Peace.

Love,

Our family had the pleasure to get to know Nick (and family) through the PAL wrestling program. He was a wonderful young man and a great mentor to my children, inspiring my 6th grader at the time to write a "hero" paper about him for a school assignment. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. He touched all of our hearts!
