Deepest sympathy to Nick’s family. May he Rest In Peace.

Karl, Rhonda, Chris, Alexa, and Justin Kundrat
so sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace and his his memory be eternal.
I wish Nick’s family all the best dealing with the lose of a loved one. It helps knowing Nick lived a happy and productive 71 years as well as knowing he passed on great genes to carry on.
Nick and I were buddies in Weirton/Weir High. We were also roommates in Morgantown, West Virginia our Freshman year at WVU in Glenlock Hall.
Being a car nut, Nick was impressed when he visited me at home in 1969. I gave Nick a tour of the 3 car block garage my Father, Brothers and I built in 1964/5. The right side had my oldest Brother’s black 427 Cubic Inch 1968 Corvette whereas the left side had my older Brothers red 427 Cubic inch Tri Power 1969 Corvette with side exhaust(that car is still parked in that garage). Nick was less impressed by the Economy tractor parked in the middle bay.
Nick will be truly missed.
