Dear Donna and Nicole.Where do we begin to say how much we loved Nick and his kind and beautiful nature? He was more than a friend, he was like a brother to Joe and me. Nick was always there to lend a hand or give you advice. We will never forget his kind ways and sense of humor! He loved his family and always put them first. Donna was his sweetheart. From Christmas eve dinners to birthday celebrations, you made us feel a part of your family. Fly high with the Angels, Nick. Watch over us from above. We are truly hurting and sad! Hope there's a Dunkin Donuts for you in Heaven.Love,Bette Kaye and Joe

From knowing Nick thru my family, not only was he kind to me but always made me laugh whenever I saw him with my cousin Nick and my Father May he Rest In Peace with the Lord. He will now be your Angel to you and your daughter. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call me. Susan Pineno

Oh my Gosh, where do I start? When we first moved here Nick was the first to meet us and had never stopped to this day. Nick has always been the go-to person. He never hesitated to give a helping hand regardless of what is asked of him. His contageous smile shows his good heart. His funny jokes never ended. He was the dictionary for every construction job or house repairs as he would always recommend the best for home repairs. I looked forward to talking to him going up or down the street. Nick was family to me. May his gentle soul rest in peace as he resurrect as an angel and watch over us. You will be missed.Clara

As a Christian I believe in resurrection. Although you got to your exit before us, we are on the journey to Eternity, and we will reunite again on Alyson Place in heaven. Please prepare the path for us, as you always did while with us. Your memories will live with us for ever until we meet again in God's Grace. As it is said, "Grief is the Price We Pay for Love". We truly love you and miss you so fondly. Clara and Ed.

Donna and Nicole we are so sorry for your broken hearts, ours ache too. It was clear your sweet Nick had tons of pride in his family and always willing to lend a hand. We are grateful for his support of us and the neighborhood, he loved helping out anyone in need. We saw Nick everyday as we walked the dog and he always said hello to Lexi with a twinkle in his eye. I will miss those evening walks when we’d stop for a little chat and dog talk. Memories of Nick returning from work in the afternoons with the windows down in his truck (didn't matter what time of the year), the music on his radio turned up high as he rocked out to his favorite tunes will always bring a smile to our faces.Our deepest condolences.RIP Nick..
