Nick loved all types of sports and coached football, basketball and baseball for the Our Lady of Peace CYO, and the Ridley Twp. Young Republicans Baseball Team. Tinkering and woodworking were also hobbies.  He loved his family and was committed to making sure that all knew of his support to achieve their highest potential.

The legacy of Nick's kind spirit, passion for sports, and zest for life will live on through them.
