There were many opportunities to remember and celebrate dad this weekend.  ❤️ At the cemetery we planted lavender, in addition to the roses he loved.  We also planted more canna in the garden at home - another of dad’s favorites:)🌹Love and miss you, dad ❤️❤️❤️ - Andrea

We remembered dad at Mass on Sunday, and with the roses planted by his side.  We know he was with us, as it started to rain lightly while we were at the cemetery - and the roses would be nourished.  Mom planted more of the same at the house and he would have loved them all!  Dad - we miss you!

Nick is well remembered as a good colleague not only experienced and reliable as professional but having fun in the lab and discussions with the other colleagues  during his time in Ueberlingen when I worked for UV/VIS department that time. It seems that Nick did well in all periods of his live. RIP Renate

Nick and I were friendly neighbors but really bonded on a 3 day sail from Wellfleet to the Connecticut shore on the first leg of ferrying their sailboat to Florida. Beyond the sharing of work stories and experiences, I found he was an accomplished pianist and equestrian before engineering school. Aside from his Perkin Elmer success I already knew he was a schnitzel master and one hell of a sailor, but  what continually impressed me over the years since was his vast knowledge of geography and history. He seemed to know the population of cities and countries all over the globe even beyond the many places he and Jane had traveled. He was a remarkable man and great friend we will all miss! My deepest condolences to Jane, and to Christia and Andrea and their families.

It is with great sorrow that we hear about the passing away of Nik Sebestyen.  During his stay at Lake Constance, Nik contributed actively to the foundation of our sailing club in Germany where he remained a honorary member until now.

We will always remember with pride and joy to have had him amongst us. May the wind carry you on to your next adventure.

With Nik Sebestyen we loose a passionate sailor and founding member of our sailing club SGUe (founded in 1972). He had the status of a honorary member of the SGUe at last.
Our thoughts and good memories shall accompany and support the members of his family in their sorrow.
To him we call a last "Allzeit Gute Fahrt!" (Always have a smooth passage!) wherever he may sail now.
