Nick was an organ donor, a blood donor, a volunteer firefighter in both Penn Hills and Churchill, and Paramedic at Penn Hills’ EMS Division. He volunteered in many organizations and touched the lives of so many people; Nick was jokingly called the “Mayor” of Penn Hills and brought his bright energy and good humor into everything. Everywhere he went he was family to all of those around him.
