In lieu of flowers

After a courageous five-year battle with cancer, Nick Papageorge passed away—stubborn, loving, and deeply cherished by all who knew him. He always dreamed of having a memorial bench in Spring Creek Park, a place he walked with his beloved dogs for over 30 years.
Nick found peace and joy among the trees and trails, and it was his wish to be remembered where he felt most at home.
This bench stands in honor of his memory, a place for family and friends to visit, reflect, and feel his presence.
May he rest in peace. Contribute
