I remember your dad Nick when I was growing up in "The Jardin" He would keep his cows and goats in the field next to our house. He would b ring them water in his old truck and we would run after him. He was a great man and a hard worker. He and his family have given me some very precious childhood memories. I thank god I knew him.
