*It is with deep regret that I report the passing of Mr. Nick Colella.
Nick passed away in the Sayer, Pennsylvania, Robert Packer Hospital. He had been in and out of a coma for a few days. My deepest sympathy to his family. He leaves behind two sons and a wife.
I considered Nick a good friend, with whom I shared many hours. He went through some tough times, but I would prefer to remember the good ones. I was always glad to see Nick and I think he enjoyed hanging out with me as well. For the last few years Nick was finally living inside an apartment and away from the streets. We kept in touch by telephone and talked about people and places we both knew. I am going to miss him a lot. God Bless you Nick.
