There isn't any time that I can remember Uncle Nick not having a smile on his face. I recall one day at the farm in Stockton hanging out with some of the cousins at the front watching Palos jimmy-rig something and Uncle Nick comes running over to us and says "Jubie I need to borrow your motorcycle to pick up something important from the store". He jumps on my bike and rips it down the highway. About 30 minutes later I hear my bike and here comes Uncle Nick just grinning from ear to ear. He parks in front of me empty handed and I asked him what did he have to go get. He smiled right past me and then points to his back. There was a small box of feminine hygiene product halfway sticking up from the back of his pants........Here's to uncles that helped shape us to who we are. Love you Uncle Nick.

Uncle Nick inspired in me a deep love for song and music. I remember Uncle Nick singing and playing the guitar at campfires when we went camping. I loved listening to his bands play as well as listening to him sing, especially with Auntie Evelyn. (Auntie Evelyn - you have a beautiful voice!) Uncle Nick was so talented, being a singer and musician.  All of the singing and music made all of our family gatherings so special and unforgettable! 

In addition to his talents, as a man Uncle Nick was so kind, loving, and so much fun. I remember he took us to Reno in his van, and we stopped on the side of the road next to the lake, and he swam in the cold winter lake. He loved the outdoors and the power and beauty of nature. The source of all that power and beauty Jehovah "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." (Revelation 21:4)

There's so much to love about Uncle Nick. I loved his perpetual smiles that always brightened up everybody's day. Uncle Nick will be forever remembered, loved, and cherished!!!

When we were young kids living on Shotwell st. SF, three guys walking past our house decided to take off with one of our bikes. Uncle Nick started to yell at them and followed them. Although the hoodlems dropped the bike and hurried to get away, Uncle Nick still persued them ! Uncle Nick was courageous and fearless ! He was also a classy showman. He loved music and enjoyed performing. As he was playing the guitar for an event in SF some years ago, he began doing kicks in the air and performed really Kool dance moves. Uncle Nick was a natural showman . Uncle Nick will be sorely missed ........

Condolence to you and your family Leslie. Your father Nick will continue to watch over you and your family. To keep you guys safe. Rest in Peace .

Dear Dad,

I have fond memories of us and I will cherish them forever. Remember the times riding our bikes through Fort Funston watching the hang gliders, exploring the caves and nature- you showed me the ocean and the beauty on earth. Or how about the times you brought me to work and for whatever reason I enjoyed working with you fiddling with the CAD computer trying to be like you and draft up some blue prints. I love roller skating spending hours through Embarcadero and exploring that fountain and doing nothing else but that. I will also never forget the lessons you taught, like learning how to swim by just throwing me in the water (scary). And, teaching me to drive a stick shift through the hills of San Francisco (pressure foreals). I especially loved when you took me out for rides on your motorcycle and we would just pasyal pasyal without any helmets- just cruising. Thank you Dad for all the great memories and I wish we had more time to make more! I love you so much and I miss you dearly. Rest in Peace dad and until we meet again.

I love you always,
Your daughter Peachy
