In the 25ish years that I knew Nick, he grew alot as a person. He was always a kind soul,constantly thinking of others. His sense of humor may not have been for everyone, but it made him pleasure to be around. He was someone you could count on to be there when you needed him most. We didn't talk all the time, as usual life seems to get in the way. I have vivid memories of sitting in the back seat while Nick was taught how to drive my mom's manual Ford Tempo. It was a very entertaining thing to watch him bunny hop it across the campus parking lot. I moved to Windsor before i could drive. He used to come out in the old Crown Vic just to hang out, grab a coffee or go to the show. I remember when he got Hershey. It was like he was a new parent, attentive patient and proud. We went to Niagara Falls for his 40th birthday celebration. At the butterfly Conservatory, he had butterflies hitching a ride on him as we walked around. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the Niagara Speedway as it was closed due to weather. If i ever get back there i will be thinking about Nick for sure.
