Eight years ago tonight I lost the love of my life. My boys lost their father. Tragic and so final. Nick you are never far from our mind and heart. We love you still and always. 

My heart goes out to Nick's family and friends. I hadn't seen him for years, but shared many good times with him as an undergraduate at CSU. He clued this Colorado kid in to a 'Jersey' culture I knew nothing about. He was a kind and thoughtful friend then, and I cherish the memories I have of those good times. He was one of the good guys. I'm so sorry he's gone.

Linda, I am so sorry...just found out about Nick...please let me know if we can do anything...call me...I don't have your phone number...970.691.1647

I am sadend to hear the news about Nick. Nick has done my taxes for the last 15 years and I always looked forward to seeing him. He was very energenic, good guy, faimily guy, and we always ended up talking about his son and airplanes. I am a pilot for Delta Airlines and he would always tell me about his son and his aviation adventures and his goals, his flight instructing days, what airplanes he had been in, and how proud he was of you, he always said  I need to intruduce you to, and my son can take you flying. I am so sorry for your loss, thinking of you all, god bless. Keith Kohlhardt

Awww! Just got the notice from the office.  Nick has been helping us with our financial life and a friend since 2005.  He always made us feel good.  Our special bond was talking about the aerial adventures of his son, as I am ex-USAF and a private pilot.  Nick loved talking about his family. We miss him.  Comfort to his family.

To Linda and Family, Just heard of Nick's passing and want you to know how very sorry we are.  Nick has done our taxes for many, many years.  We will miss his outgoing and friendly personality.  He was a man who adored his wife and family and it was very evident when you talked to him.  Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  We will miss him very much. Jon and Judy Pennington

To Nick's Family-
We were so saddened to hear of Nick's passing. We thought of him not only as our tax man, but also our friend and I know Claire and Steve, Brett's parents, feel the same. I always looked forward to our meetings and hearing about his love for you all. He was such a huge supporter and encourager and will be greatly missed. our hearts go out to you.

Joseph and family.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I just learned of this today.  I enjoyed my visits with Nick, and recall what a great time I had with him when we flew over the soccer fields so he could photograph them.  May he rest in peace with the angles.

To Linda and family,


Since I didn't get to personally express my sincere condolences to all of you at the reception, I wanted to do so now and say how wonderful it was to meet so many people who had been touched by Nick and hear their recollections of him. 


 May the wonderful memories of the time you had with him bring comfort to you and help you through this sudden and unexpected time of loss and sadness.

I ran across the following story today and thought of all of you and want to share it.




For the Man Who Hated Christmas 
By Nancy W. Gavin





It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past ten years. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it ??"" overspending and the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma ??"" the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't  think of anything else.
Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was on the wrestling team at the school he attended. Shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. 
As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears. It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. 
Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, ""I wish just one of them could have won,"" he said. ""They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them."" Mike loved kids ??"" all kids. He so enjoyed coaching little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That's when the idea for his present came. 
That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes, and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, I placed a small, white envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done, and that this was his gift from me. 
Mike's smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year. And that same bright smile lit up succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition ??"" one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. The white envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning, and our children ??"" ignoring their new toys ??"" would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the small, white envelope never lost its allure. 
The story doesn't end there. You see, we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree. And the next morning, I found it was magically joined by three more. Unbeknownst to the others, each of our three children had for the first time placed a white envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing to take down that special envelope.
Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit will always be with us.##imported-begin#

We've never met you but feel like we know you thru Nick's great joy/love/laughter/stories of his family during our yearly tax appointments for over 20 years now. His wit, humor, skill with taxes and love of life, the talk about Triumphs (Mark is building one): tax time was something we looked forward to because of Nick.  He will be greatly missed, but we know he was and is greatly loved.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss???our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Lance, Jennifer, Tyler and Ryan Newlin

Linda, and your entire family.  Nick was a dear friend in so many ways, one of my best friends.  I will forever miss having coffee in the mornings as we would spar over who was right on a tax issue or a financial strategy.  I will miss his colorful stories.  I will miss the fun we had making chocolate covered cherries.  Linda, we have loved you both for over 20 years and both Bonnie and I will miss the love and joy that Nick shared with everyone!

My thoughts and prayers to all of Nick's family and friends. He will be missed.

Dear Linda and family:  You don't know us but Nick was our accountant for over 10 years and we loved him.  But he also became our friend over the years.  If you only knew all the many times Nick spoke lovingly of his wife and sons...it's been a gift to know him and we can only imagine your grief.  God bless you and give you peace and grace to look forward to seeing Nick again.

Linda and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  May he rest in peace.

Dear Linda and Family:

Fond memories of Nick will be kept close to my heart.  Working together at the Northern Hotel, he was respected and loved by his peers; his smile would light up the room.

We all know that he is at peace in Heaven...

Blessings and love,

Norma in Florida

Words cannot describe my feelings. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I knew Nick for about 40 years. Although we'd only seen each other 3 or 4 times a year because of income tax, it was an enjoyable business meeting. We'd get caught up on news of people from Charco Broiler and Cafe Columbine days and of ideas for future business and remember good times (like his IH Scout from college). Likewise, remember all of your good times with Nick. My prayers are with you. My friend, til we have our next meeting.

To the LoRusso family -- we are so very very sorry for your loss. He will be missed by all who knew and admired him.

LoRusso Family, I am sadden by the loss of Nick. I knew him thru my Uncle Clair and Steve.  His  laughter and sense of humor will truly be missed.  Once again very sadden for your loss.

Our deepest condolences on your tragic loss. My wife Johnna and I enjoyed seeing both of you at special fund raising events in our community over the years. Nick always had that wonderful smile and spirit of joy that was infectious. Every time I would see Nick he would ask about my cousin, Tedd Gatteau, and we would share a couple of laughs together as Italians from the east coast  I will miss him and if there is anything I can do for the family, please let me know. Love. Artie

Linda and boys, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your husband and father was truly one of the greatest men I have known.... kind, thoughtful, caring, and generous.  He felt like kin and brought a smile to my face every time I saw him. Treasure the memories and know he is still with you.

Dear Linda and Family, We are so sorry for your loss and are holding you closely in our thoughts and prayers.  Such a bright star, a caring, warm, inviting man, we feel so blessed to have known him.   He will be missed so much.

As a young father, I was lucky to have Nick co-coach soccer with our sons Jared and Daniel. Nick, confident and always the encouraging father, was an inspiration both to the boys and myself. Our thoughts and prayers to the family. RIP Nick

Linda and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember our good times together.

Linda, Daniel and Joseph, 
You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Your husband and dad was our son's second dad and very special to all of us.  We were lucky when Joe came into our lives and brought his dad and mom, Nick and Linda with him.  There's not a lot that can be said which would lift your broken hearts, but we want you to know that Nick will forever be in our hearts and thoughts.  Although our families will never be the same, we will be there for you and love you very much.

Linda Daniel and Joseph

(Phil 4:7) Sending much love and heartfelt sympathy to Linda, Daniel and Joseph and all of the LoRusso family. Nick, you are remembered with great love and affection!

We are so sorry to learn of Nick's passing. Since we are still coming to grips with this reality, we can't imagine what each of you is feeling.

God bless you all.

I'm so sorry Linda. Nick was such a cool guy.

Nick, You were a bright light.  Loved sharing food, laughs and Italian family stories. You will be dearly missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Linda and your boys.  You always shone when you talked about them.

Words are too simplistic... I love all of you so, and are praying for you. Linda, you and Nick journeyed with me through some of the most difficult times of my life, and I treasure every step we shared. Please know that I hold you tightly in my love and in my prayers... how I wish I were there. Daniel and Joseph... what fine young men you are and the great love you share with your parents will be your greatest support. I am here for any and all of you... never forget that.
