Dear Ann & family,
In a city where your neighbors become like family, Andy and I have been blessed to become so close to Milissa, Jim and the girls. Because of that, we had the wonderful opportunity to get to know both you and Nick as a part of our "extended" family. Nick's sudden passing saddens us all but we also know that he has a special spot in heaven. His enthusiasm for life and his obvious love for family demonstrated what a man of character he was. Thank you for sharing happy times with us. May God wrap his loving arms around those left behind to bring you comfort.
Love,
Andy & Annalisa Mena

I don't think I ever saw Nick have a "bad day." And that includes the golf we played!
I know Nick and my dad will keep an eye on each other in God's grace.

Mrs. Hubiak,
I will certainly miss Nick. I had the good fortune to at times have been his golfing companion over the past five years in the Saturday golf league Nick participated in. Our hearts are heavy with this sad news about Nick. His quick wit, competitive nature and presence will be missed by us all.
Sincerely,

Nick belonged to our Saturday morning Tennis group. Nick loved to tell jokes and he always had several 'true stories' to tell us during our frequent breaks. Most of the time, we had a tough time continuing to play tennis because everyone was still laughing.
WOW!! He really brighten our day.
He will be greatly missed.
