Nick was born in Springport, Ind., on Oct. 16, 1924, to Nick and Mabel Keesling Yost. He proudly served our country as a Navy signalman in World War II and the Korean War. He married Delores Jean Hansen on July 31, 1946. He was employed by Cook Paint, Fred G. Anderson Wallcovering and most recently, Klinger Paint. He often joked that he failed retirement several times.

Nick blessed his friends and family with his positive attitude, sense of humor, work ethic and his love of the outdoors. He was also the quintessential handyman and artist. Nick truly enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
