Lynn, Chris, Christopher, Tissi, Tony, Steve and families,
I knew Nick since I was 11 years old. My brother Ron Peters married Lynn’s sister Maria. Every morning as I walked along State Street in West Fairview to walk downtown to elementary school Nick drove past me in his white Oldsmobile Cutlas with black convertible roof. He would honk the horn and wave to me. That made me feel special. Lynn and Nick are not my in-laws but my sister and brother.
Nick fought a great fight these last couple years to be with his family. Lynn went above and beyond several times over to see that Nick got the best possible care.
Sending Love and prayers to all of Nick’s family
Lynn & family we send my sincere condolences on the loss of Nick. What a great compassionate husband, father, grandfather and friend Nick was. Nick is now whole and not suffering any longer. He’s sitting with his Lord and smiling down on Lynn and family. Our prayers for comfort and strength during this difficult time. Love you, Deanna & Dave
Strong kind family man and one of the best to call brother
I am so glad I got to see Nick and Lynn not too long ago at Perkins. He is my son Dillon Zinicola’s Great Uncle. Very sweet man. May God rest your soul in peace. Condolences to Lynn and the rest of your family.
I have known Nick for over 30 years. He is one of the most kindest and sweetest human beings I’ve ever met. Recently with health problems, the last time I saw him he still had a smile on his face. Rest in peace Nick. You will be missed! 🙏❤️
Nick was a sweet guy and a great knowledge of the civil war era and took us to the museum in Harrisburg. We had good talks and would have been closer if we lived in the area . He will be greatly missed by all the family and friends. He had a wonderful personality. Ann (Zinicola) Lamkins and Jim Lamkins, St. Louis, Missouri.
Nick had the best sense of humor and was always a joy to be around. We are so grateful for our friendship and all the meals and good times we shared. We will miss you greatly my friend.
