I hadn't know Nick for very long when I realized what a wonderful husband and father he was . I know he will missed by many. Our hearts have been heavy and not being there to give support to those we love made it difficult. Have been thinking about you and praying for all

Nick will always be remembered as a true friend, and for his unfailing devotion to the boys in Pack 779 & Troop 779. He was always available for scout project and outings. Many Eagle projects were finished with Nick’s assistance, and he touched many lives through his generous spirit. May the comfort of the Lord be with you and your loved ones, we pray.
