Dear Brother Nick,
I love you brother and will miss you. Great memories will always be with us. Memories of you buying your first car, practicing the trumpet, joining the band. Best of all you surprised us telling us you were going to be the singer. We have always been proud of you. Great memories forever.
Your sister,
Frances.

Nick was a good friend who I shared a close working relationship with as we toured the country performing together in a re-creation of the original Blues Brothers show. Nick was a consummate performer, a good family man and friend. God bless his memory, and his family.
RIP Nick Boromei
