RIP Nick. Recall all the fun times at the PC and PSK, and at Harvard and Yale. And you calling me a "legend" to make me feel supported. Your dedication to school and academics were memorable and infectious. May God bless your family, and thinking of you from SF. - J.K.

I was a year behind Nick on the wrestling team at SPS. An expression of his own humility, Nick always made me feel good about myself. Although we only crossed paths a handful of times after graduation, I just wanted to say that I still think about Nick and that he remains an inspiration to me.

Nick-there isnt a day that goes by that Doug and I arent talking about you. We both miss you so much. I miss coming home to you and you telling Doug and I that you just wanted a boys night and you wanting to watch a horror movie. The last movie we saw together was IT and that day we jumped from movie to movie. I miss spending time with you. You had this ability to brighten the room No matter what happened you where always there making everyone laugh and smile. Rest easy Nick Doug and I miss you everyday buddy. Love you.

I never met Nick but happened to see his obituary and - with four high-achieving 'millennial' sons of my own - was stunned and incredibly saddened by the scope and the tragic mystery of his passing. Amen. (Dr) Michael J Wriston

I love you so much and will always remember the positive reassurance you gave me when I was down, you were always there to listen and be supportive even when you were struggling yourself. Thank you for everything you taught me nickums <3 I will stay strong for you

When I heard the news, I didn't want to believe it. So many people are shocked and grieving. I read the outstanding personal narrative Nick wrote in fourth grade to every class that followed him. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful and brilliant Nick.
