Even to this day papou I still can't believe you are gone. But I know you are in a better place. And I love you.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Nick.  This morning, while I was sitting here at work, for some reason, I thought of him and Aunt Tessie.  He was such a great man and I have many fond memories of time spent with him and Aunt Tessie during my years with their nephew, Nick.  My sincere condolences to all of you.  May his memory be eternal.

The beauty of your presence, Uncle Nick, was felt by all who came in contact with you. Your family/friends  will remember the love, acceptance, and gentleness of your spirit. You're in the arms of Jesus , take my love with you. Your friend, Karen

A wonderful man and gentlest of souls, Nick will be missed. May his memory be eternal. Prayers and love to his family.

The neighbors on Geigel Court will miss Nick. What wonderful people to live near for over 40 years. We pray for you all and may his memories bring love and comfort today. Blessings, Kitty Neerland and Jackie Mullen

Tessie & Family

Nick was such a special guy. I was always happy to see him in Church on Sunday's. I will not forget his smile or his lovely disposition. Our family has been so close with you all for as long as I can remember...since I was very young. I'm grateful my mother and father, Amanda & Chris, have been privileged to call you both friends/family.  I enjoyed seeing and talking to Nick because he was rich with those qualities in a person that only come from living a full and happy life. His devotion to Tessie and his family were true and transparently obvious. I pray for you all and for Nick. 

May his memory be eternal.

With Love,
Ted Cranias

I found out today,that our Beloved  Nicholas passed away from us on Wednesday October 21st,2015.What can I say  to you Papa Nick, except you showed me such giftedness in your love  for me ,and each time I look at my Censer,my Incense from Greece,my vigil lamp ,the Icons ,or even just as important, the Jesus plaque you gave to me....the Cards of well wishes  for me when I moved away...so far away,but you are a wonderful part of my life even now as I remember you...With love from me,Papa!!! I love you!

My heart breaks for you all!  I still have the wooden Christ and puzzle that Nick made for us back in the 90's.  I have cherished the memories of meeting him and Tess in Alaska.  He was such a gentle man.  He truly touched the Sholl's lives.  Memory Eternal!

Dad, my broken heart has moved up into my throat and makes me feel like I'm chocking. I miss you so much.

I will always cherish the memories with Nick and Tess at the USS Windsor reunions when I traveled to them with my father Guy Sharra, Nick's shipmate during WWII. Isn't it ironic that Nick and my father passed away within a month of each other, maybe to be young men again with each other at sea. My deepest condolences to the Tenekedes' family. God Bless.

Our sincerest condolences...the world will be missing a beautiful and loving man.  He graced every life he touched.  I know, he touched ours deeply.  May his memory be eternal.  I know the Lord was happy to welcome him home...the Lord wil have this faithful servant right next to him.  With all of our sincerest love to his beautiful family, his legacy will live on forever.  Me Agapi, the Rausch family

Our great grandfather, we are coming to florida soon and we are in california at the moment. We have had so many good times with you. And it is very sad to see you go. I hope one day, we will get to see you again.

My beloved father, I'm sitting in your chair, on the patio, listening to the sound of the leaves rustling from the breeze, I'm hearing the birds singing, but Daddy Mou, I'm longing to hear you voice, singing to me from heaven.
