Not sure what to say?

The League of Women Voters of New Mexico would like to let the family know that Paul Sedillo of Albuquerque has made a donation to our Education Fund in memory of Mr. Salazar.

Dear Family
May God comfort you in this sad time. Mr. Nick was a gentleman and loved life so much. We remember he and Richard going on foot to bring cows down from high mountain pastures thought they were part mountain goat.
Good person good times. Remember those good times.

He was a fine gentleman and an outstanding Legislator with whom it was a pleasure to work.

I began working at LANL in 1983. I worked in HR with Earl. For about twenty years, off and on, I ate lunch with Nick, Henry Ortega and whoever else happened to join us. What a fine gentleman - a life well-lived.

My deepest condolences to the Salazar Family. Representative Salazar was an outstanding leader and a dear friend. He guided, supported and lead in many initiatives to improve the lives of northern New Mexicans. He will be greatly missed.

Our condolences to Nick’s family. He always greeted us with a smile and a handshake. He made the Laboratory and northern New Mexico a better place for all. John & Marti Browne
