RIP Captain Nicholson, I known you as being a Great USN Captain (USS Ranger 1975/76. You will truly be missed my thousands of People you have met in your lifetime. GOD be with You. "Pres On"

Captain Nick was one of my Heroes. I would have followed him anywhere. Rest in peace. Ladies you did a great job. A-7 Corsair II Association

I learned so much from him as my NJROTC Commander. While attending Sanger High School from 1979-1983. And my first day of school as a freshman. I was late to class. All I remember as if it was yesterday........ "Martinez your late and may I remind you. Your mom works here not good when late to my class son. News travels fast to the front office. Gave me a smirk. And said..... Sit down it's going to be a looooooooong 4 years Mr. Martinez. RIP Cap your home now Daniel Steven Martinez SHS...

It was a honor to serve under Captain Nicholson on the Ranger from 1974 - 1976. It was a learning experience to be supervised by his daughter Eve Nicholson at the CPA firm Weber Lipshie in the 1990s. My thoughts and prayers are with the Nicholson family,

The quintessential naval officer that just happened to be a consummate naval aviator. He would like it that way.

You were my dear friend over 35 years - dearly loved by my entire family. We miss you, Capt Nick. Press On.

Captain Nicholson was my very first Commanding Officer onboard The Ranger. He was the true definition of what Leadership is supposed to be. A truly great and humble man, he most definitely left his mark for others to follow. If we are lucky in life we get that one person that makes that impression on us and leads us to heights we never imagined, Captain John L. Nicholson was that man for me! Fair winds and following Seas Captain and "Press On"

I served under Captain Nicholson aboard the Ranger. He was an outstanding officer and a fine gentleman.

A Salute from all USS Ranger Sailors! Fair Well, Sir, Job well done!
