Nick will be genuinely missed by everyone who knew him and was a friend to all.

His children and brothers wanted to share a phrase or song lyric that best reminded them of Nick.

Nate (his oldest child): "I'll fly a starship Across the Universe divide, And when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can. Perhaps I may become a highwayman again, Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, But I will remain, And I'll come back again and again And again and again and again and again And again."

Natalie (his middle child): "I love you shipoopi"

Luke (his youngest child): "Who's the best buddy?" and "always end on a good note."

Tony (brother): "Best big little brother"

Josh (brother): "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain."

Jordan (bother): "Each one, teach one."

Jake (brother) "You gotta keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden: dig it. You gotta make it work for you."

Alicia (wish-loving life companion): "Water finds its own level" -njl Forever, we will flow.

In loving memory of our dear brother and father, Nicholas, who will forever be remembered as a caring, free-spirited soul who brought joy and love to all who knew him. Love you g

"Thanks for coming into work today"- nlj
