Five memories of Nicholas D. Eischen

“

Nick and I went to Buchanan High School together and we were also close friends. There was four of us ( mark, nick, Robert and myself) that hung out together on the daily. Nick had a pure heart. He always made the best out of situations and pointed out the positive. When the group started to get a Lil wild nick would always find a way to reel us in. I'm sure he shared those same genuine qualities in his post high school adventures. There are so many memories. Happy and sad. From the time mark passed away and nicks letter was read because he was unable to make it due to his service to our country to the four of us sitting in my living room trying to pick out names for my ,now, 14 year old son, Christian. God took one of the good ones when he took Nick. Love you, miss you, and look forward to seeing you and Mark one day my brother.
