Malcolm was a good friend of mine can we went to Union school together from kindergarten through the eighth grade. I didn't know until years after his death that he had passed and his mom had passed away a year or two before that.

I offer my sincere condolences to you all. Mr. Nick was a great teacher that I had the pleasure of having at the Aquacultre School. He will be greatly missed. He was a great person as he showed by attending Shelton High's 1998 graduation when one of his students invited him, that just shows his caring character.

Dear Nicholson Family,

My sympathies and prayers are with you all. Your dad was a very special person to me as a teacher and as a mentor at the Aquaculture School. Having him at my high school graduation in 1998 meant so much to me. His words of wisdom and his caring have pushed me to continue my education and get my degree as a Biology Teacher. He will be greatly missed by all.

Deepest Sympathy,
