His children will remember him as a father who was committed to his family and encouraged them to pursue their goals.  He was dedicated and loved to support not only his children and grandchildren, but also others so they could succeed in sports, 4-H, and FFA.  Nick was known for his straightforward approach, can do attitude, and work ethic.  He always found a way to lend a helping hand and give of his time and energy and was true to his Catholic faith.
