Nikki, Lori, Lisa, and Amy- I am so very sorry for your loss. I had not seen your dad for many years until last year. He joined your Aunt Marcie and me for lunch one day when I was down visiting. I had such a great time catching up with him. He always had a great sense of humor. He and you are in my prayers. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked in the Ormet Lab for Nick for many years. He was a good foreman. He called me probably about a year ago. I am sorry to hear of his passing and I pray that God will comfort you in your loss.
