Gary Lee Nichols

I remember Gary from an early age when his dad Lee was our Little League baseball coach. Gary was two years older than me and took me under his wing. Such an absolute gentleman and a great teammate. It has been a long time but Gary left a lasting impression.

Jeff and Wendy, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was such a pleasure to work with. He was honest, straight forward, and loyal, plus he had a great sense of humor, He spoke of your mom and you guys often. You were his pride and joy. Always remember how much he loved you. He’ll truly be missed,

Thoughts and prayers for your loss.

I will miss you my friend !!!!!

Coach Nick and I taught and coached together from 1978 through 1986 for Union Local Schools. Our classrooms were across the hall from each other at Flushing Jr. High and we usually ate lunch together in the basement of the old gym. Coach Nick was well respected by his students, parents and fellow teachers. Opposing coaches also respected his wide knowledge of his sports background. Coach Nick was always firm but fair with everyone he interacted with. Coach Nick was one of the "Good Guys!"
