Ms. Barbaro, I wanted to let you know that Nick was a pleasant person to sing with in the SCCC choir. We stood next to each other, laughing at the fact that we didnt know the words to the songs. He had a great personality and a contagious smile.
Your family will be in my prayers.
Sincerely,

I was shocked to hear of Nick's passing. Even though I had only known him for a short time, I had the honor of seeing his true character on more than a few occasions. He was, simply put, a wonderful person, and I'm glad he considered me a friend.
His love of music and his teaching ability will reach far into the future in the form of the students who learned with him. His family and his spirit will be in my prayers for sometime to come.
Keep playing, Nick...

Dear Cathi & Matt and family:
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I remember Nick as an
adorable, curly, blonde, little boy. Cathi, I have often thought of
you and Matt since our time together at AOC-PNP. From previous messages it sounds like Nick was a great guy, although I would not have expected anything less. My

Cathi, Matt and Julie - We can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry we are for your loss. From the huge showing of friends and family, it's so apparent that Nick was a very "special" person in so many ways, always giving to others and sharing his kind spirit and special talents. Time will help to heal your broken hearts and the pain that you are suffering now, but remember Nick and all the wonderful memories that you have and know that our prayers and thoughts will be with you now and always.

My deepest sympathies go out to Nick's family and close friends in this time of tragedy. I've known Nick for the two years I've been in SCCC and he was one of the nicest people I've met there. He had a lot of potential, and a world of talent. He worked for what he wanted and loved what he worked for. He'll be missed greatly by all. May the wind be at your back, Nick.

Nick was a very kind person and I'm very glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him, however little time that was. Nick was an inspiration to us all; he had incredible talent. I attended S.C.C.C with Nick and performed in two plays, "Working" and "Machinal", with him at the college as well . I now attend U Albany and was looking forward to going to school with him again. I, and all of his friends from S.C.C.C will miss him dearly. To Nick's family, I extend my deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers. Nick we all love you and we will all miss you very much! The memory of your life is with us all to guide us and inspire us to be as successful as you would have been if your life hadn't been from you as soon as it had. Until we meet again . . .

I express my deepest condolences to Nick's family. My prayers are with you all. Nick is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He always was so motivated to learn as much as he could possibly know about music. I was impressed by his wealth of knowledge and his passion and ambition with music and Life. I have had so much fun singing with him in SCCC's Vocal Chamber ensamble, and was really blessed to hear his tallent and growth with his guitar over the years. I know he has made an impact in my life as he has with others. He was friends with everyone, always willing to help out. He was simply wonderful.
