Friend to all folks and freaks,
Nick D, always a smile on this face,
A warm "hello" for the whole human race,
Nick D. gives that special look,
Makes me feel #1 in his book,
NIck D, thank you for all your love,
I'll keep an eye out for you up above.
.....Nicky and I went through thick and thin together- he always had a positive attitude through it all, even when I went off the deep end. Nick's love saved me through many scrapes and his warm heart comforted me in my most troubling times. After many failed experiments, laughter ended up being the best medicine after all. I love you Nicky.
My Dear Cousin, Nick

In our Greek family, it is a tradition that the groom has a golf tournament outing for the wedding party and invited guests. My wedding tournament was July 16, 2004. I selected Nick on my team because he was a real joy and a lot of fun to play with for 18 holes of golf. Also, Nick was a great partner to calm me down before the altar festivities. The groom's team is always the last group to tee off in the wedding tournament. As the round progressed, we heard that 9 under was leading the "scramble" in the clubhouse! Nick took our team on his shoulders and we played his ball for the remaining 5 holes to win the tournament by one shot. At the 19'th hole celebration, I thanked Nick for his marvelous play down the stretch on the final holes. Nick turned to me a said, "Cousin Jim a.k.a. Metoo... I refused to let you lose your wedding tournament. The groom never loses!" With that, Nick flashed his winning smile and our team received the 1'st place trophy! I played numerous rounds of golf with Nick at Interlachen C.C. and each shot and round were very memorable. We always talked and compared the "latest & greatest" in golf club technology.
Nick knew the true meaning of family. He was a great cousin and friend! Our "Niata" family will miss him greatly. We love you, Nick!!!!! May Your Memory be Eternal...
Love, Jim Boosalis from TN.
a good friend

i was so lucky to share many memories with nicky, from meeting him at St. T's and then sharing a house with him at Marshall and Moore, attending graduation together, our little stint in the construction biz (That's Josh Hartnett's House!), laughing at the most outrageous curly blond haired mullet ever seen at the Cabooze, i could go on and on.
every time i think of what nick was up to on a day to day basis, i couldn't help but giggle a little. nick had an aura he carried with him that made everyone feel like a friend. one good story from nick (the best at it i've ever known) would have everyone rolling on the floor, wiping the tears away.
nick was a good and special friend and i am lucky to have known him. we'll all miss you.
My Memory

We golfed together. We played foosball together. We walked together from house to house, to house to house. Nick had so many friends and was ALWAYS welcome, or even expected to grace people with his presence.
I will remember the"Mansion on Marshall", the lowertown lofts in downtown St. Paul, Selby-Dale, and Edina.
I will NEVER forget spending Christmas Day with the Dovolis family!! I was unable to make it down to Omaha to be with my family for Christmas in 2003. My friend Nick was there for me. He called and insisted that I spend Christmas with his family and friends. That really meant a lot to me. Thanks!
I will always remember the Farmers Market and Rudolph's.
I will always remember sitting around with Nick and watching the "Greatest Outfield Assists" major league highlight video. WOW! We were both so amazed...and actually were able to stay put long enough to watch the entire thing.
I will always remember watching Don Rickets comedy and belting out laughs with Nick. I think the neighbors are still trying to get over the loud laughter noise...
I will always remember trading stories about Entrepreneurship classes, faculty, and students. I will always remember the Canterbury Dance in Shakopee. I will always remember joking about people's "salads". We loved "charing" stories with one another. I enjoyed all of Nick's "NICK-names" for people. What a smart and crafty man!
"Get to know 'em"
These were great words Nick spoke. He was ambitious in getting to know EVERYONE he met. He had so many friends because he got to know everybody.
Miss you! You will always be Addy's Chronie!
Thanks for being Nic D,
The Gentleman from Nebraska, Pat Addy
