Dear Danny, Amanda and Familly, My sincere condolences on the loss of your Father. Your Dad was a man above all. He will be missed, Cherish his memory.
Nick was loved by many including my entire family. Growing up as a child, I remember Nick helping me count out my change to buy a bag of chips and a coke. If I didn't have enough, that was okay ... that was Nick, kind and generous! Fast forward, Nick saw us through many years including raising our own children to whom Nick became the "candy man" when it was treat time on Fridays. Nick never forgot a name or a face. I saw Amanda and Danny as toddlers. They were working in the store as my children were growing up. They treated everyone like family. Nick was loved by all and will be remembered always.
