We recently received notification of the passing of Nicholas "Nick" Ledanski.  Nick passed away at the age of 78, in his residing home of Woodstock, Illinois.  His battle with serious medical issues in his later years showed his courage in facing challenges witih a smile and hope.  Despite the pain, Nick came out a warrior and stayed strong to the end.  

Nick was born and raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin with his two sisters and brother.  He went on to join the Army and proudly served in Vietnam.  After Vietnam, Nick was determined to build and enjoy his life.  He thrived in his career which took him around the world.  While in Germany, at one special moment, he met his future wife-to-be, and her daughter who quickly started calling him "dad".  

Nick will be remembered for his unwaivering commitment to his family, his many friends, his passion for cars, his hard work, and his big heart.  He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, commitment and cherished memories.
