Dear Plevris Family,
We received the call here in Florida late Saturday night to tell us of Nick's passing. We share your great sorrow at this time, as he was our dear friend. He will certainly be missed by our family and our little community of Copley will never be the same without him. Our assurrance is that we will all see him again and that he is happy in the presence of the Lord.

To the Plevris and Satari Families:
May God grant you and your families peace and understanding. We know the sorrow that is felt in missing a loved one so close. Your father was one of the kindess and most gentle men I knew. I know my father, (Big Mike) as well as all of us think a great deal for "Big Nick".
Mike, John, and Maria, our fathers both looking down and smiling upon all of us. Emilia - I remember all the wonderful things your husband and family have done for us. I have had (since my teens) thirty years of Nick's big hugs, for which I will miss, but I know he is in a much better place; No pain or worries anymore. All our best wishes, thoughts, and prayers to you and your familes.
Love, kisses, and hugs - Gerri and Kelly (Genesis, Dana, and Michael)
