KUPCOW, Nicholas Steve (Age 54) Of Greenacres, passed away on May 23, 2014.

He was born July 12, 1959 in Sydney Australia to Stefan and Tania Kupcow.

Nick was an extremely generous man who absolutely adored and lived for his family.

He had his own, unique, way of showing how he felt but you always knew it was genuine and came from his heart.

Once someone met him, they had a friend for life since Nick never met a stranger.

His personality was one that lit up the room where his presence could be felt immediately in any setting through his thundering voice, with a laugh or song, and everything in between.

Everyone was drawn to him, and he truly enjoyed making people feel good and putting a smile on their face.

Nick’s legacy and memory will live on through his beloved children, son Nicholas and wife Tamara, daughter Nicole and husband Nick, and son Sean and fiancÄ‚Ĺ e Janie; his mother Tania; brother Tony and sister Irene; his precious granddaughters Abigail and Penelope; plus his nieces and nephews.

Nick was preceded in death by his father Stefan and his ex-wife Deb.
