Dear Mrs. Ochs and family,
I have nothing but good memories of Nick. I grew up in Monticello with his son Matthew. I spent many days swimming and playing basketball at their house. Nick was even gracious enough to spend his summer driving Matt and I to Lexington to attend UK basketball camp.
His passing seems way to soon. My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the family.
God bless,
Ryan

Ms. Ochs and family,
My heartfelt condolences to you from Nick's doctor.
I am out of the country but will be back on September 4th if there is anything I can do to be of service.
Nick was always a joy to see although as you know he was very healthy and only came once a year. I will miss our conversations.
Greg Ciliberti, M.D.

Mrs. Sheeran,
So sorry for your loss. I was going to message you on Facebook because I thought you were on there, but since you're not, I thought I would just send my condolences on here.

Dear Family,
My heart sank upon reading Nicky's obit. Yes, he'll always be Nicky to me.
As a member of the Mudd family, I grew up with Nicky a fence jump away. We had many an adventure. Double dating through high school, Dad felt better knowing Nicky was there to 'chaperone.' In my heart, he'll always be another big brother to me.
So, dear family ~ my heart goes out to you. I have you folded in the palms of my prayers.

Susan, like so many others I was shocked and saddened to hear of Nick's sudden passing. It's just incomprehensible. You have my utmost condolences. Please know you can count on me and my wife Judy for any help or assistance we can offer in the days ahead.
For me personally, I'm sure going to miss his spot-on political commentary which I enjoyed very much via his Facebook postings. See/talk to you soon.
Love,
