They move to Fenton, MI on a large wooded property where Nick and his family hand built the house of his dreams. Nick was a talented artist in many mediums. He could build a suit of armor, sculpt a great white shark, or carve an eagle in great detail. Nick retired from Ford after 30 years as a Master Modeler. He spent his retirement traveling and collecting antiques. He met his present wife Moung at this time. Nick took on the responsibly of caring for his elderly parents.
