I am deeply sadden by the passing of my wonderful husband, Nick. He was a loving, kind person with a beautiful soul. My heart has been broken into a million pieces knowing that he will not be among us anymore. I will miss his smiling face, delightful sense of humor, his many, many stories and his joy of speaking to everyone he came in contact with, whether he knew them or not. He had such a love of life and fought, valiantly, for almost seven months to overcome his prolonged illnesses. He was an awesome father, grandfather,and great-grandfather and was happiest when we were all together as a family. Relatives, family and friends were all he needed to make him the joyous person that he was. No words could ever express how much we loved him and will miss him. We take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering from pain and that he is up in Heaven already making up for lost time with everyone there. He truly was an angel, who flew too close to the ground but now he sits at the right hand of God, where he belongs. Nick, I will miss you, darling, more than you will ever know. Your loving wife, Connie.
