My condolences to the family and friends of Nick. Nick was a dedicated civil servant who served our City well for many years. Nick cared deeply for his colleagues, which was much appreciated.

My deepest condolences to my good friend and Ginger's "Auntie" Kelly and her family. I was lucky enough to meet Nick several times at our USA Women's Sled Hockey events and see how very proud he was of his daughter. He would have the biggest smile watching her play. RIP Mr. Loth.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Nick for over forty years. If I had to describe him, I would say he is the sort of man you would meet and find it impossible not to take a liking to him. He was a very folksy, down-to-earth person with a heart of gold. I worked in an office with Nick for a number of years but saw him socially as well, particularly after we were both retired. My brother and I always enjoyed getting together with him for a round of golf. I will miss doing that more than I can put into words. His wife and family have my deepest sympathy.

The earth shattered into little pieces for my family and I this weekend. With the deepest sorrow, I am writing about my father-in-law passing away. I will never forget him. He was very special to me. What a lot of people didn’t realize is how close we were. I would talk to him anywhere from 3 to sometimes 5 times a week. He was so easy to talk to. Whether it would be good, bad, or sometimes ugly news… he was always there. We had a very special connection and friendship. He was never Mr. Loth or Sir Or Nick. He was and always will be my Dad.
I will never forget the first time I met him. Talk about nerves. Nick Jr. and I had been dating a few months and decided that we would pull off 4, yes 4 Christmas celebrations (which we did for 6 consecutive years). We started off at my Mom’s on Christmas Eve day and then on Christmas Eve night went to his condominium to see him, Karen and Nick Jr’s sisters. I remember walking in and feeling instantly comfortable. We laughed, we joked, told stories, and ended up staying there until way after 10PM. I remember hopping in Nick Jr’s mustang afterwards saying how much I really liked his family, especially his Dad. And that was the start of my entrance into this beautiful family.
From that point on in Nick Jr’s and my courtship, we would spend a large amount of time with his Dad and Karen. We got to know each other quite well. We talked a lot and had too many fond memories to recall. It was great when the 4 of us would get together. Nick Sr. and Nick Jr. were always joking around. Karen and I would be laughing right along with them… as well as rolling our eyes. When they got on a roll, man oh man did they get on a roll! From jokes to impressions, those 2 guys had us belly laughing.
Dad always accepted me. He told Nick Jr. “I don’t know how you did it, but you found a woman that can talk as much as you do!” Touché Dad. Haha. The summer of 2011 Nick Jr. told him he was thinking he was going to propose to me. Without hesitation, Dad offered him the family “Loth” engagement ring. “Well when do you want to get it? Just say the word and we will get it” he said to Nick Jr. When I found out that we had his instant blessing, I was flattered beyond words. Fast forward 2 years later to the actual wedding day, I remember what he said to me. “Well Shelby. You look very beautiful. Welcome to the family my new favorite daughter-in-law.”
But when we really got close was when Nick Jr. got sick, 3 months after the wedding. Dad rushed to us and never left either of our sides. I spent 10+ hours some days in the hospital by Nick Jr’s bedside with his mom and dad. In that time we went from the new “In-laws” phase to knowing each other like I had been married to Nick Jr. for 10+ years. Oh, the stories he told me. In those 2 weeks, I found out so much about what made the Loth family and him SO VERY VERY SPECIAL. And at some points we were laughing so hard, the nurse threated to kick us out of Nick Jr’s hospital room.
One of my favorite memories of Dad is when Nick Jr and I told him we were pregnant with Faith. Nick talked to him first… then I got on the phone. He was over the moon! I was terrified about the future and he calmed me down. He said “Shelby… you and Nick are going to be GREAT parents. Don’t ever have a doubt in your mind about that. And I can’t wait to help you both through this journey. It’s about time you two make me a Grandpa again…”
There are a lot of things I learned about this great man and there are a lot of things we talked about these last few months…
He was truly happy about how this last Christmas turned out. It gave him so much joy to have all of his kids and grandkids around him. He called it his picture-perfect Christmas. And he literally brought it up in almost every conversation we had since December. He would say “I had all my kids and grandchildren around me… I got to watch Bells Of Saint Mary’s… I had my real Christmas tree… I decorated the tree with all my treasured ornaments… we were all together. It was perfect.”
Another thing I learned is that when life sometimes throws you curve balls, you will make it through. He would say when I was struggling, “Well Shelby, it only takes one of this or one of that to make a change in the right direction.” And if something didn’t go my way. “Well Shelby, it’s their loss. They don’t know quality.”
But most importantly, he absolutely treasured and loved all of his kids and grandchildren. One of the last stories he heard about Faith was how she is mimicking our babysitter’s kids by sticking her tongue out and making funny faces (he thought that was hilarious)….how she is siting up… and how she is babbling MAMAMA, DADADA, and BABABA. He would say “Well that little girl of yours, she is the happiest baby. I don’t think I have ever seen a picture that she wasn’t smiling in. And man is she smart. One of the smartest kids I know…. That’s my favorite youngest granddaughter.”
But you should know something. We ALL were his “favorite.” Kelly was his favorite oldest daughter. Christine was his favorite 2nd oldest daughter. Nick Jr. was his favorite son. Annemarie was his favorite youngest daughter…and his son-in-laws, grand-kids, and I followed suite. He loved us all equally, fiercely and unconditionally. Good, bad, or ugly….whether he had or hadn’t heard from one of us in a while, he knew that we all loved him just as much too! It didn’t take a thousand conversations. He felt all of our love, all the time. Whether we were near or far from him, he rejoiced and celebrated in our achievements. And did everything he could to help us in the tough times. I know all these things for 110% certainty because he told me!!!
Dad- you will always be missed. Not a day in my life, my husband’s life, or our daughter’s life will we not think of you. God broke the mold when he made you. We will always love you. And most importantly, I promise I will make sure Faith knows you. She will hear your stories. She will know your voice and love for her. She will see your mementos of the things you cherished. You will live on in our hearts and hers forever.
All my love,
Your Favorite (And only) Daughter-in-law

To all of Nick's family, we send our condolences in losing a father, husband, grandfather and special grandfather too soon. Please find comfort among yourselves through talking about him, remembering special stories and events, and keeping his spirit alive. Nick is the first and only person I've ever met who ate kohlrabi! He always had a good story to tell, and even though I've never met any of his children or grandchildren, I felt I knew them and he was very proud of all of you.
