Hi Nick - I just finished watching the "Nash Bridges" episode you briefly appeared in ("Zodiac"), and felt compelled to look you up. I've seen that episode several times, and though they didn't have you say much,
there was something in your eyes that spoke volumes. I tried to find
something in Wikipedia about you, but
came across your obit. It was pretty obvious you had quite the fulfilling life and that a lot of Wonderful People loved you. ...And you were a 6th De gree Aikido Master??! And a Martial Artist in other areas?! Wow. You sometimes just never know what's behind the person you see in front of you. Again, the fact that you were loved by so many Wonderful People says a lot about You, Sir. I love you too, Buddy - and I've never even met you. God Bless You and all those you love and that are important to you. Have a Beautiful, Magical Eternity. I look forward to meeting you! Take care. Big Hug from me to You!
