I was so saddened to hear about Nick.
I pray for his parents for healing during this time. I did not know him long, but he appeared to be a very bright and talented person. I remember how much he loved his cappuccino machine as I caught a glimpse of him hugging it one time. I pray that he is now a peace and God has a good attorney with him.

I am so saddened to hear of Nick´s passing. I am glad to have known him as a friend and fellow attorney. He had a kind smile, a quick wit, and was always a valuable and fun addition to a trivia team. Nick was always generous with kind words about others, and I enjoyed getting to know him. I won´t forget the fun times we shared through our church Young Professionals group, and I send my deepest condolences to his parents and family. I pray that he has found peace.
