October 27, 2017 at 6:49 pmNick, had a lot of great times working together. You will be truly missed. The bond that Barb and I have made will never be forgotten. I am so blessed that our paths crossed. The memories with your family and mine at the cottage with our kids growing up, hunting, fishing and can’t forget the “8” Ball. The trips we took to come and see you in Tennessee! Fan fare, Lorrie Morgan’s fan club and dan winning the ping pong table. These are just a few of the great times we had together. Love and miss you buddy.
