Nick’s favorite hobby was gardening and he grew a variety of beautiful plants. His favorite pastimes were sitting around campfires (even in winter), stargazing, and spending time with family and friends. He enjoyed rafting and target shooting. He loved to watch eagles and hummingbirds. For him, there was nothing better than enjoying a bowl of Breyers Chocolate Ice cream at night while watching old Sci-Fi movies or Hogan’s Heroes.
Nick will forever be in our hearts.
Eternal love- your family.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
