    Growing up, both sides of my family were so connected to Nick's family that I thought I was part Wukelic, part Vein and part Petkovich. They were all like extra aunts and uncles and I will remember them always. Joe,, Shelley, Dot and all - I am sorry for your loss and wish you fond memories.

    Uncle Nick will be missed by his family here in South Florida. He was the funny and silly uncle who made me laugh and he always told great stories about my dad, Sam. Rest in peace, Uncle Nick. i will remember you most for your quick wit and boyish charm (and your 'Eat More Beans, America Needs The Gas' shirt). Until we meet again.

    So sorry to read about Nick's passing. Sympathy to you Shelly, you were always his shining star . He was always so proud of you. Then you gave him Miranda. What a blessing she was to him. He was a good friend to my late husband,Al Dunn and to me also. We had many good times together. Sympathy to you also Claudia. You took care of him and was his companion for many years. Sympathy to the Luschers also. Not only was he your uncle but also your side kick and best friend. I know you will miss his visits. He was always a fun loving and great person. RIP Nick.
