Gary Nichols

I met with retired RFCM Tedd Ritchie and Curt Nutter last evening in Athens, Ohio to catch up (we haven't seen each other for some time)...it wasn't minutes into our conversation that Gary's name was mentioned (Curt worked in both Region 1 and HQ Claims for years with Gary) and Tedd and I worked with Gary and his Region 1 staff. We all said Gary was a kind and strong leader; and cared deeply for those who worked with him...Gary's dry humor and wit often helped us all cope in difficult...

Laura, I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Gary for many years. He was a special person and will be missed. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Gary was a remarkable man, who left a large legacy with the Cincinnati Insurance companies. Gary was kind, professional, intelligent and humble (along with a very dry humor). Over the years Gary mentored many people, with his "Servant Leadership" style, strong work ethic and strong morals. I truly miss my good friend.

Laura and family, Gary was my my greatest mentor. We became friends when I was employed with Cincinnati Insurance. He recruited me into headquarter property claims. He was a great leader and teacher. I have and will always miss him. My deepest sympathy. Karen Roop

Laura, I don´t know how to express how I feel about this loss of one of my best friends from our childhood and racing team days ! The Ace will be missed by this team member! RIP "Wild Thing" !!!

Gary and I graduated together as part of the 92nd academy class in 1971.Gary was our class speaker and did an outstanding job.My condolences to the Nichols family and may he rest in peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Gary was one the first people I met when I hired on with CIC in 1995. I remember him being warm, kind, and humble. RIP Gary.

I remember playing a round of golf with Gary and Nate several years ago. For 5 hours that day , I was blessed to be with 2 men that I respected so much. God bless Gary and his entire family. So very sad to hear this news.
