Brian F. Nicholson

Augie was someone who was a light for River Way. He always was joking around, keeping things funny, but bearing the responisiblity that comes with being a River Way Director. He reminds me a lot of how I am and reminded me during the summer that even thought things might not be going to right way for me, camp is all about laughing and that is why we keep coming back. It is also why we loved him so much...Augie was all about laughing too. He will be missed on more levels than most will know.

"Augie", you will be greatly missed by all those whose hearts you've touched over the years, mine being one of the many! My sincerest condolences to Giggles, Becca and Zach.

To Lisa, Rebecca, Zac and the Entire Nicholson Family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Brian (Augie) was someone I looked up to when I first went to "Champ Camp" as a young counselor. To me, Brian always showed composure and strength and gave those around him plenty to laugh about. I am very saddened by his passing. For all that I admired and remembered about Brian, I will take with me throughout my life. The camp song, "Going on a Lion Hunt" just won't be the same.

I knew Brian as a neighbor to my sister and brother-in-law. I was touched every year by his generosity in leading the annual Halloween parade and sponsoring snacks along with his wife for those hungry treat or treaters. He helped so many children have happy childhood memories of neighborhood get-togethers. People like Brian make this world a better place. His legacy perhaps is that more people will be inspired by his examples to reach out and help others. My heart goes out to his children.

Vi, Frank and Family:
Adrianne talked to Regina this morning. Although I have only known Brian through our association over the years, I feel I've known him from your Christmas letters. He obviously was a wonderful man. We are so,so sorry for your loss. May God watch over you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Donna & Bill Lofgren & Family

Augie had the kind of energy and enthusiasm that was contagious. He was a great leader for the River Way staff. I will remember him for all of the jokes and laughter that surrounded him at camp. My thoughts and prayers are with Giggles, Becca and Zach.

I am still in shock over the passing of Augie. My heart and prayers go out to the family especially to his son and daughter Zach and Becca. I will always remember how much he loved working with Children. He was always there for me at camp and I learned alot from him.

My fondest memory was when he to leave camp early one session and he did fly bye . He tilted the plane's wings twards camp as if he was waiving goodbye to all of us. Thank you Augie for all the fun memories and...

Augie, you gave so much time and patience to the counselors and campers you knew. Thanks for all the great memories. God bless you.

Lisa, Becca, Zach, Frank and Vi, we can only imagine what you are going through. Lisa, we met you all only 9 years ago but you have and will always be our "neigbor nots." Brian was a not only a great friend but a fantastic neigbor and will forever be missed by the Barbieri family. He and you will always be in our prayers and I know that "Camp Heaven" is a better place now with Brian in it.
