Niko was a true intellect who had a passion for history and good conversation.

He was loved by everyone. He had a rare gift of knowledge and could engage in discussion

on any topic with any age group, young or old.

Niko loved cooking, cars, hunting, and playing a great game of poker with friends.

He made people feel important when they spoke with him and

often had a word of wisdom on life issues.

Niko traveled frequently and often with his wife Olga,

and together they spoiled their nieces and nephews.

~ Niko you will be missed, you were taken too young,

and we will think of you daily with a smile. ~

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death,
