Nick will be missed! He was a dear friend to my family, and filled so many roles. He threw hours of bp to me and Brian, while my dad yelled at us both! Nick took us to so many ballparks, which was always an adventure! (Pre-GPS days) He helped me with summer jobs at ABD while I was in school. He was always good for a story and a crazy voice mail. Nick, with Brian, helped to boost my son’s confidence with one simple sentence; “Jimmy, he’s a late bloomer!” My son then went on to have an outstanding senior season and had the courage to walk on and play in college. Nick will truly be missed.
