so sorry to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure of being a "knight" with Nick. I looked up to him as a big brother at St. Francis. I was a freshman when he was a senior. He always told me "anyone who is messing with you is messing with me..." Nick is a great guy !` (Josh, Kimberly, & Zachary Ovens)

Matt Harris

He was my tackle blocking for me on the football field, my center on the basketball court, my first baseman I could throw too when on the ball field, but most of all he was my childhood friend. The times we shared as kids I will never forget. He was our protector in the Douglas meadows hood. He always looked out for us at the park, riding bikes, playing tackle football, or swimming in the pools. He was the first one over when we put in a new basketball hoop and the first one to crash through the back porch diving for the ball. 

You will be missed Nick. Love ya buddy!!!!

Mary Beth and Mike,
Was so extremely sorry to hear of your loss. He and his wife come to our office for their "baby care", and although I work with another doctor, I recently found out who Nick was and was looking forward to meeting him and his wife on their next visit in. Plese know your future grandchild is in great care as she will have her very own personal guardian angel watching her every day. My deepest condolences to you, his wife and of course Cory.

Nick was about as great a guy as you could get. I have so many fun filled stories that I could fill up this entire page, so instead I'll just remind you all of how full of life he was, how great of friend/family he was, how caring he was, and really what a genuine good hearted person he was. I think about his laugh and it makes me smile and cry at the same time. This could not have happened to a more undeserving person. You will be missed dearly old friend...
