We will always love you Nicky. You were like a father to me and my wife. And you were a wonderful grandfather to our son JJ. JJ will never forget you, he will never forget the many times you took him out and bought him many things. He still wants the candy you used to get him and he calls it Nicky's candy. You will always be in our hearts and minds and we will miss you forever. A man that we will never meet anyone like him. Ahmad, Ayat, and JJ.

Dear Del and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Nick's death. May he rest in peace. I send my sincere sympathy and promise of prayers to each of you. I have such good memories of him and his involvement in so many school events at Blessed Sacrament. Then, he was also such a help to me in a project at St. Philomena's in Portsmouth! Indeed, he was a great person. May he now enjoy the fullness of God's love. I am sorry that I am unable to be with you at the wake and funeral. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. May your wonderful memories of Nick and the presence of family and friends support you now and in the days ahead.
God bless you,
