John & Brenda Sending Thoughts & Prayers to you and your family. Thoughts of your Uncle brings back great memories of our neighborhood.
I was not able to attend Nicks calling hours but wish to offer my sympathy to his family. My father(Amos Ives) was a good friend of Nicks. I knew him as Little Nick. Nick D’Amico was referred to as Big Nick. The three of them were great pals. Nick was a kind man. When a stray dog appeared at my house, with no luck finding the dogs rightful owners Nick decided he would give it a home. I think there was another dog Nick saved from a trip to the shelter.
Nick was a good, loyal friend to my father. I have fond memories of Nick.
