Nick embodied the person I strive to be in my golden years. He always had a smile to offer no matter the situation. When he walked into a room you couldn't help but notice him. I feel blessed to have had the chance to get to know him.

I met Nick at First American Bank in Addison. He was my favorite client. He would tell me stories and bring me Fannie Mae Turtles. I've sent him a birthday card each year, although I have not worked for the bank for several years. This year was no different. It saddens me that he was unable to see the card of the crocodile with the big smile, just like him.

My condolences go to his family. He was an amazing person and he will be missed.
