Nick loved and adored his sons and especially enjoyed sharing the world with them, through their travels. To say Nick was your average sports fan, would be an understatement. He loved his DALLAS COWBOYS, Texas Rangers and his Dallas Mavericks! Nick was always ready and willing to just hang-out with family and friends, whether it be pool parties, cook-outs, volleyball games, watching his teams on TV, ordering the next fight match-up or the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Party! Nick had a passion for life, love, laughter, family and friends, which was felt by all who encountered him. It has been said many times, how much he has helped and guided others in encouraging them in working towards their goals and dreams. Nick had a love of traveling, scuba diving and always looked forward to the next great adventure. We miss you dearly, Nick!
