Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Nick has stories of his kindness, his generosity, his quirks, his jokes, his obsessions and his indomitable spirit. He was truly remarkable for his courage and cheerful attitude despite the severity of his medical problems and physical limitations. He was a unique individual who loved deeply, especially his family, who had strong beliefs and opinions and who left the world a better place.
