George Nicol Obituary

George Richard Nicol, a kind and brilliant man, died of cancer on December 16, 2022. He was born in San Francisco on February 22, 1948, and grew up in Atherton. George was a Managing Director with Wells Fargo Advisors and a highly successful professional, leading the Nicol/Quasha Investment Group. Since graduating from UC Berkeley in 1970, George forged a career as a financial advisor and developed close and personal relationships with his clients and colleagues for over 40 years.George spent much of his youth traveling with his family and was fluent in several languages. This ability allowed him to move through the world with an open mind and a generous heart. He will always be remembered for his passion, intellect, empathy, and sense of humor. Anyone who knew George appreciated him as an utterly unique, irreplaceable man. We will miss him more than words can say.As a longtime resident of Novato, George participated in many charitable endeavors, including his several years on the Novato Soccer Board and also serving on the board of North Marin Community Services (formally Novato Youth Center).He is survived by his wife, Jean, whom he adored for more than 40 years, his beloved children, Selina, Loney, and George, and his grandsons, Dashiel and Keaton.In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the North Marin Community Services: https://www.northmarincs.org.

OMG, My Geo. Nicol has left this planet to be absorbed into the Quantum energy matrix. We had SO MANY good times together, reflecting on "God's and the Universe's PLAN" for all us common entities, as we all move through "Reality."
Yes, it was George and me on a beautiful Spring morning at "Camp 4" at the Yosemite valley floor. The demi-gods and GODS of Yosemite, that morning, permeated our being(s)...>>> and let us know that all is right (and we were in tune) with the Universe's dynamics. So, off you go my friend; George; know that I am right behind you. We both are components of LOVE, ready to spread the JOY, as you SO often did in our many social gatherings. I may re-incarnate as a woman; so be on the lookout for "some crazy" female. It just might be ME == Stu Erskine.
