I am so sad to hear of Nick’s passing. I taught at MHS when Nick was there! Nick was a great young man. I still remember the time I accompanied Nick and his class to the bowling alley to celebrate his birthday. Nick and I shared a birthday, just 20 years apart. That is a memory I will always cherish from MHS and of Nick. My condolences to his fat and friends!

Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family at this time. Just try to hold on to all the happy memories you’ve all had in Nick’s, to short, lifetime. We are praying for you all!

Nick and I started in first grade together and shared many classes together. I used to write about Nick in my class journals all the time. He was one of my favorite friends to play with. He always had a special place in my heart through all the years in Munster schools together. I used to have dreams about playing with Nick when I wasn’t at school. I have so many memories of Nick and they are cherished.
