Terrible news. He was a good generous man, RIP. Our hearts go out to Monika.

I'm looking forward to a great party in remembrance of Nick. Let's plan to fly Monica in for it.
Here's a pic of Nick at the 2010 (I think) Cat Fight party, doing what he was an expert at: bringing laughter and joy to whomever he was with.

I have not been on TTOL in sometime and am so sad to read about Nick’s passing. He was loved by so many because he was a man that truly cared about others. I moored at Leverick for my 50th Birthday in early November 2013 and celebrated with the most amazing meal at the restaurant all thanks to Nick. They were reopening for the season the week following our arrival in the Sound. So I contacted Nick prior to our departure to the BVI and he was so gracious to offer and arrange to open for my Birthday and arranged a custom menu with me just for my dinner. I will forever remember that night and a great and kind man named Nick Willis.

I've been searching through pics trying to find one that really shows Nick as we remember (just told my daughter). I have posed pics at the dock, Leverick bar and Duck and Dive, but this night at CocoMaya was a great time! I can hear his voice while photobombing the girls. Damn nice guy. You'll be remembered and missed.

Sorry to hear about Nick's passing. I didn't know him well but had the opportunity to meet him and Monica a couple of times at the Friday night BBQ. Deepest condolences to Monica and family. Will toast his life and memory next time we pass through Leverick Bay.

I was just checking out some personal pictures when I ran across some old pics of Leverick Bay. Nick came to mind immediately. My heart is still heavy over the loss. He had a beautiful child-like spirit that simply cannot be replaced. I’m looking forward to an open and vibrant BVI in the future but it won’t be the same without Nick.

I know we will miss him the next time we go back. How old was Nick?

I just caught this. I've been guilty of not keeping up with TTL often enough, and usually just lurk. (sorry) I had the good fortune to meet and visit with Nick several times over the last decade or so and I am saddened and stunned to hear of his passing. Fair winds and following seas to Nick and Family.

Condolences indeed. All the best joints, especially the ones that aren't too fancy, have a guy or gal who makes the magic happen. We'll always have Leverick, at least in our memories. Thanks to Nick and Monica. That's more than most of us can hope to leave on this earth.
