He loved spending time and helping in the East attendance office with Mrs. Fraser and Mrs. Bellair. He couldn't wait for Friday night LTHS basketball games watching his dad coach in action.

He had many laughs with his horse instructors Nicole and Ross and had a special bond with our neighbor Paul Bertino. He also enjoyed camping at Silver Lake Michigan with his family watching his dog "Duke" run and bite at the waves. Nicholas had the incredible ability to put a huge smile on your face and dished out larger than life hugs. He had an unconditional love for everyone he met. He was known as our "Nick-a-turn."
