Nick was our back lane neighbors. Nick and his wife lived on Inkster and we lived on Lansdowne. I must say Nick and his wife were the most kindest and sincere people you could ever meet. It was always so pleasant chatting with them. Nick always offered a lending hand and never asked for anything in return. I remember Nick and his wife always keeping busy in the yard and working late hours in his wood shop. God Bless! - Posted by: Joe Cohen (Neighbor) on: Jun 21, 2024
