He was a wonderful son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was blessed with many spiritual sons and daughters and he loved them all as his own. The love he showed his family and friends stemmed from the love he had for his heavenly father Jehovah, to whom he dedicated his life in 1970, along with his wife Peggy, in Pullman, Wash. Thus, beginning his faithful course of serving his heavenly father Jehovah.
Nick loved God’s beautiful gift of music, not only listening to it but also creating it by his soothing voice and by playing the stringed instruments (mainly guitar).
He loved to hunt and was an avid fisherman and in his elder years tried to redeem himself by feeding the deer and the little critters in the winter. He was a master craftsman. He found great joy in working, always finding a way to provide for his large family.
Nick loved all of God’s creations. His love for his heavenly father Jehovah moved him to talk to others about God and His Kingdom and all the promises soon to be fulfilled. Revelation 21:1-5.
