Nick will be remembered by many friends and family as the outgoing, social "salesman". Always a smile to greet both friends and strangers, he was gracious in opening his home with warmth and hospitality. 12 Robin Road is considered an entertaining center where the house is filled with laughter and fun and always presided over by Nick. His sense of humor and positive outlook carried Nick through his life. Quick with a joke while offering something to eat or drink made Robin Road a cherished destination. His words of wisdom will long be remembered fondly by his children. A member of the Glastonbury Hills Country Club, he shot a game, though respectable, was one he played for fun. A memorial service will be celebrated on Tuesday April 22 at 11am in the First Church of Christ, Congregational, 2183 Main St., Glastonbury. There are no calling hours.
