I will sure miss Nicky (and his former dog he used to walk in Grogan Park). As of late I saw and talked with him at Food City in Gate City. He would usually bring up the pillow and lap throw I made him when I lived near Grogan Park 15 years ago. He was a genuine gentleman and we always enjoyed catching up on our lives.
I'll miss his smiling face. There is a meeting place out before us all...please be ready to reunite with saved loved ones for all eternity. See you there!

I remember When I was playing football for UT, I used to do summer workouts at home in Gate City. Nicky was my audience. He was amazed of all of the drills I would do.
