Mathew and Sara.
Yesterday I learned of Nick's passing. I was heartbroken. He was one of the very first friends I made after I moved to Richmond. We used to enjoy trading barbs at the diner. I was Army and he was AF and we made the most of it. I lost track of him after the breakup, but I always wondered where he was and how he was doing. He was quite ill the last time I saw him at Nick and Alease's.
I wish I could call my DAD one last time. I lost him in 92 and it hurts just as much today as it did then. That pain will never leave you. You never know what will trigger a memory and bring you to sudden tears. But take comfort in knowing that he is beyond any pain or suffering. He is no longer struggling for breath. He is at peace. He is missed by all who loved him.

Nick. As you cross over, I know that God will be there to welcome you. You will be safe there, and feel no more pain, and be loved, more than ever. I send my sympathy to your family, here, and across the ocean. You, were a good friend, and it was fun when we all got together in Richmond (before you became so ill) and had supper, together. Someday, we will meet again, in a wonderful place that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has built for us. Until we meet again, my good friend.

Thank you all for your kind words during this difficult time. Matthew and I appreciate all everyone has done for us. Thank you for the nice cards and flowers. I know our father would love them too. Again, I appreciate you all for being there.

I was very sorry to learn of Nick's death. We first met in elementary school (Mary Munford), where we were in the same classroom for at least one or two years. That was back in the late 1950's. Later, we both attended the same junior high and high schools. In fact, at that time, we only lived about eight blocks from each other. Nick's home had a tile roof, which was somewhat unique. I last saw Nick about ten years ago when we ran into each other at what is now the Kroger store on Cary Street. I know his children and extended family are all proud of his military service. He was a great guy and certainly will be missed.
