A long, long time ago
I can still remember how it was that
Nick came to us.
We thought we'd give him a chance
We never took a backward glance
Twenty two years of service, what a plus
The vote was two hundred to four
And Nick came walking through our door
He came to us from Fort Wayne.
We all thought he was insane
To all our kids he's been a guide
Took Senior Saints on lots of rides
But something touched us deep inside
The day Nick Tomeo arrived.
And now we're sayin'
Bye Bye to the minister guy
He's gonna take his family down to Cincinnati
Nick's leaving us, but we're not gonna cry
'Cuz Nick you've always brought us a smile
Nick you've always brought us a smile
Nick's worked with a lot of guys
Some are here - a nice surprise.
Others are too far away.
There was Calvin, Steve and John and Jim
Associates Jon, Cliff and Tim
Rosemary's gone, but Cheryl's here to stay
Well we know guitar is what he plays
It was not stolen, hip hip hooray
He likes to play the Blues
With the Brothers Snooze
He took some long trips in our van,
On others flying was the plan
He's been a true Bears and Cubbies fan
Since the day that he arrived
And now we're sayin'
Bye Bye to the minister guy
He's gonna take his family down to Cincinnati
Nick's leaving us, but we're not gonna cry
'Cuz Nick you've always brought us a smile
Nick you've always brought us a smile

For Nick Tomeo's Farewell Celebration
(Sung to the tune of "American Pie")
Do you think that you'll miss V.B.S.
And Pete who could be such a pest
And working camp with Cap'n Jeff?
We all came back from the rafting trip
But at Steak and Shake, counting you did skip
Joe and Patti almost got left
Kickoff events were really great
Sumo wrestling, who could hate?
You drank the pop that's red
Your sermons kept us fed
You were ICYC's president
We bet they'll wonder where you went
But we know that through God we've sent
You down to Cincinnati
And now we're sayin'
Bye Bye to the minister guy
He's gonna take his family down to Cincinnati
Nick's leaving us, but we're not gonna cry
'Cuz Nick you've always brought us a smile
Nick you've always brought us a smile
