I took care of this wonderful man at the nursing home and I would do my best to find the time so we could go outside and smell the flowers. I some how talked him and my son to become pen-pals. both of them enjoyed getting letters from each other. However, Nicks face let up when giving me a letter to give to my son just as much as he did receiving. He would also have a saint book that he would have marked a page he wanted me to read out loud so we could discuss it. This man will be missed but is with the love of his wife. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Our sympathy goes to all of you kids but Andy and our son Daryl were best of buddies and were in each others weddings. Nick and Joyce were very fine people and raised a good family. Sorry to you Andy for your families loss of a Grandfather and Grandmother.
