    Nick will be missed. He was always involved in serving the Lord At McGregor and was a great friend. Sympathy and prayers for the family, but rejoicing for Nick to be home with the Lord.

    Summer. 1972 !!
    Nursing Students from NYC St. Vincent’s were assigned to Harrison Psychiatric Hospital for their ,…” psych training “

    We were glad to be out of the City for the summer !!!
    Who knew what a LOVE story would come out if it !!!

    Jackie Cella, the “ cutest and … feistyist!!” among us .. met Nick’s mom , who was working on the unit Jackie was assigned to !!!!????
    His Mom said” do I have a man for you !!!!!”
    So .. the rest is history. Jackie met Nick and fell in love… Nick met Jackie and fell in love too !!!

    They married with all of us cheering them on !!! We could see( even way back then) , it was a match that was supposed to be !!!❤️❤️❤️

    Years and years and years and years and years later.. they are still together and in love!!! Then … ❤️ They have a beautiful daughter named Bridget !! ❤️❤️❤️

    All of us who “ knew them “ back in the day!” , realized they had something real, something that could stand the test of time and change and stress etc ..

    Nick was one of the really , truly , GOOD guys!!! His space in our earthly world will never be filled !
    Rest peacefully and in love and happiness Nick .. you earned it ..
