Dear Scott, Debbie and Joe,



I wanted to let you know that I was very sorry to hear about Nick. It was a shock. Nick dated my daughter, Danielle for awhile about 1 1/2 years ago. He had been over to my home many times, even for dinner once. I know you may not even remember Danielle or Nick speaking of her, but please accept my deepest sympathy. Nick was a nice boy. I have a son named Nick, too. In fact, Danielle first told us that your Nick reminded her of our Nick. When your Nick walked in, boy, was she right. Both Nick's very tall and looked very much alike. I think that is another reason I had always liked your son. Again, my heart goes out to you and your family. Fondly, Tami Conforti

Nick was a Security Guard at the Streets Of Woodfield and Cold Stone Creamery was always his first stop when he started his shift. He had a lot of friends here and he always came in with a smile on his face. None of us will every forget how he used to talk about women or his new truck.Nick will always be a part of us and i hope he is partying with God right now! May the family stay strong and always know if you need a hug just come to Cold Stone. R.I.P Nick, you will be missed.

I learned of this news today and I am sorry I missed the services. I remember Nick since first grade, and we were on the same baseball team even. I can't imagine the hardship the family is going through and only can offer my condolences to them. It's times like these that we need to realize how short life is and turn to Jesus with our sorrows and pains. I'm extremely sorry to hear this and I will pray for his family to recover.

I give my deepest regards to the Palumbo family. I knew Nick for almost a year and he was an amazing person, and had the bigest heart anyone could ever have. We dated for a little while and then just remained friends. I'm going to miss him so much. I hope he knows how much I appreciate all the things he has done for me. May he rest in peace.

Dear Mr.& Mrs.Palumbo



Nick was a good guy and a great friend and very loving and a great friend to Gina and I. I really liked him. My prayers are with the family.

Nick was a really really good guy. He can't camping with us two times for a week. On the trips me and him always hangout together. We always played mini golf during the week to see who wins the most. He told us stories. He told how much he loved my sister. And he did love her. He told me I was like his brother. And he was like a brother to me to. My family loved him a lot. We enjoyed the 2 years and 11 months with him. This sucks thats he gone. But i will always remenber him. Nick Palumbo was fun to be around. He taught me things and I learn from him. I like when me and him was alone and he just talk to me about things. And i knew he knew that i loved him very much and after my sister and him broke up.

I was very shocked when I heard Nick was GONE. I was at Sam's Club on Wed 3/5 picking up pictures and bumped into a substitute teacher from Fenton and he told me the news before I got it from the family. I was just thinking of him the other day and wanting to get together with him because it's been a while since I did. Then before I knew it he was gone! It was a very sad day for me to hear he is gone, but the memories will remain. We were not related but a little while after we started our friendship we found out we had the same aunt. Thought that was kind of cool and felt like we were cousins.

Dear Mr.& Mrs.Palumbo. My prayers are with the family. I interviewed Nicholas for the security officers position with Intercon Security. He impressed me very much and even though he did not have much experience in the field I felt he would be an asset and gave him the chance to prove it. He did many times over. He will be missed here also. May God be with you and the rest of the family. Dennis Brooks, Personnel Coordinator.
