In his life he faced many battles with the health of his physical heart, but God granted him 84 years with all of us via the help of advances in cardiac medicine. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the American Heart Association. The research that they were able to do helped give us the time we each had with Nick and can only further help others in the future.
