Lou and Family,

I'm sorry to hear about Nick. He was more then a friend, he was a mentor. I was seperated from Katie, my wife, and didn't get the message in time. For some reason, I decided to Google Nick to find his home number and came across this instead. My condolences and love. I miss him.

Nick was a great friend with lots of stories & contacts. I will go out with him at least once every 6 months.

My condolences to Nick's family. I remember the way he always hung out by my grandfather's store. He was good man with a kind heart. Oh and the stories he could tell. I will miss him.

To Lou & all of Nick's family,
Tom & I were so sorry to hear about Nick. We've known him through his brother Tony, who lived in Greendale next to us for many years. We'll never forget all Nick's stories. He was a great guy and will never forget him.

My condolences to Nick's family, he was my Godfather. We were very close when I was a child and of course I grew up and moved away. I am retired now and returning to my roots by learning Croatian and joining one Croatian Club, but not Solta. My Grandfather was from Solta.
I am sorry to say I have to go out of town and will be unable to attend the Wake or Funeral for Nick.
If any family is in the Chicago area and wants to let me know that, please contact me.
