Dear Barb and Nicky and all family,
My prayers are with all of you as you say good-bye to Nick. He and Rose and all of you have made me feel so much a part of your family for so many, many years. I will remember Nick with his ever present smile and offer of a little 'shot'. He was such a gentleman.
One of the greatest.
Love, Susie Smith

Dear Barb and Nicky, Never has there been anyone as important to me as Nick and Rose during my high school years. To work at "Nick and Rose's" was to have the best job in the neighborhood. They were much loved !! Karen Ryan Johnson
