I looked up Legacy in the dictionary and found this definition. “ A gift by will especially of money or other personal property. In my opinion, Nick’s legacy would be the example he set, during the last year of his life at Capitol View Park.

          I think his Dad would tell you, Nick actually looked forward to going to work every morning. I can attest to the fact, Nick set the example for the other part time workers to follow. Nick probably had more knowledge about getting a ball field ready for play than any other part time worker. As the saying goes, the acorn doesn’t fall very far from the tree. He learned these skills by watching his Dad and his crew getting the ball fields ready in London, Ky where he grew up.

          Nick was often assigned to me to do special jobs, such as winterizing the rest rooms before cold weather set in, airfying and seeding eleven athletic fields, working on the irrigation system, etc. Without exception Nick not only was willing to work, he wanted to learn how to do it.

          So, for me its rather simple. He not only could talk the talk, Nick could walk the walk.
