Sending thoughts of sympathy in the loss of Nick. We were golfing buddies for many years. I regret I was not able to visit or attend his funeral. I have been very ill this past year.

Janice - We accept our sympathy and condolences on Nick's Passing. We have only the fondest memories of him working with him at Lockheed Martin in Washington DC on the FAA ATS contract.
And of course the periodic crossing of paths while stationed in Contracting in Europe.
May God grant him eternal rest in Heaven.
With Sincerest Sympathy,
Frank and Helen McBrearty
