  • Rob Roy  - Greatness in a man
    Nick Saxonis was a fellow Apprentice at General Electric Co. in Lynn Ma. I had the supreme pleasure of working for and with him for many years. Nick taught me so much about quality in jet engines but also taught me so much about quality in life. Any time that I had big events in my life, I would call him for his advise. He was always right even when I couldn't see it myself right away. The man was the most honorable man I ever knew, and I will miss him dearly. Like the song goes "if there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side", it is Nick Saxonis.

  • Joan Tsoukalas
    I feel blessed to have known Nick for almost my whole life. What an amazing example of endurance, strength, and love he has been. I am so happy I was there for the last week of his life. It is so touching that he didn't want me to rush to the ER when he was admitted . He wanted me to wait until he was transported to a room because "there are so many germs" in the ER. He supported me through my health struggles in so many ways. I am so happy we were about to take our first family vacation ever together as the 8 of us went to Disneyworld. . Such amazing memories made on that trip. We will think of George and Nick daily. Good strength, Καλή δύναμη, to all of us and may their memories be eternal. Love, Joni
