I remember my time with Nick every morning over coffee and tea(I) while we worked at Saga and the great times when the 4 of us went out to dinner a few times. Then I can remember the 3 of us having lunch when I came up to San Jose after my retirement.
Would love to talk to you as I am not good at these things. Some time Bev hen time permits. 702 428 1149.

I’d like to take this moment to honor the memory of my father. To me, he was always patient,
compassionate, rational, funny and loving. He always took an interest and supported me in
anything I did. It was thanks to him that I developed an interest in computers and I may not
have the skills I do today if it weren’t for him. I couldn’t have asked for a better father. My father
has always shown me love through the good times and bad. He always accepted me for who I
am no matter what. One thing he always said was to be happy and self-sufficient. He
raised me with good values and set an excellent example of how to be a kind and loving human
being. I’ve always admired how much he looked out for my mother and made sure that she was
always happy, to never want for anything. He was an outstanding provider and so many times
in my life he’d generously and unselfishly helped me out without asking for anything in return.
When I found myself in times of trouble, there he was to help me. I’m so glad that we
developed the relationship we had as I got older and I will cherish so many wonderful memories
of him for the rest of my life. I love you dad and I will miss you greatly.

Dear Bev and Mark,
Though Nick and I last spoken in 2007 I will never forget all the fun memories with you guys -- the dinners and the parties. I will always remember Nick being full of life, full of happiness and being interested in what was going on in my life. Bev and Nick - you are both very special. With much love and deepest sympathy, Tracy Heath-Jimenez
