Sad news in a year with lots of sadness. We missed Nick and Monica as well. Godspeed.

I haven't been on here in years, but I must pay my respect here to Nick. When we first met he knew me from nowhere but TTOL, yet welcomed me into his home as if I was a family member that he hadn't seen in a few years. The love, kindness, and humor of that man will be missed by all that knew him, and are a loss for all who didn't.
.... until we meet again, old friend.
... DIF all the time...

Would be lovely to do a memorial for him there at some point when we can all get down.... Totally agree, Bridget.

Spot on, we only met Nick & Monica once while spending a few days in a slip at Leverick a dozen years ago and he made us feel beyond welcome.

I took this photo last night in memory of Nick. He certainly made Leverick a special place for so many. Very fitting, and a helluva good photo. Dan

I suspect a good way to memorialize Nick is to conduct ourselves like Nick. Big smile and great attitude. Rest in peace my friend.

I have heard from several friends of Nick's and we all seem to find it hard that this jovial force of nature has gone. The world would be a much better place with many more Nick and Monicas..
