Nicholas, we never got the chance to meet in real life but we did virtually meet somewhere on the inter webs. We shared one common thing that we each were living with. I supported your efforts to create your SIC site to have a place for others to go and learn they are not alone and also to educate. In the short time I "knew" you, I knew you were passionate about your project. I really hope that someone picks it up and carries out your project as what can be your legacy. Rest easy my friend.

Over the past several years, I had the opportunity to work with Nick on various audio-related jobs here in LA. His maturity, work ethic and all-around good nature left a lasting impression on me--and I very much enjoyed "geeking out" and discussing all things audio and music related. A sweet and decent fella...
