Although we didn't attend Cohen together, I met Nick through a friend. I would always run into him at Jefferson Variety and we would catch up. When I needed someone to make headpieces for a krewe I was a member of in Femme Fatale, I called Nick and he delivered. Rest well, my friend.

Nick, you call me for my birthday and Valentines Day. I was so glad we told each other that we loved each other. Our last words were that we needed to see each other faces and you wanted a reunion of our FMBC friends soon. But God called you home. RIP my brother, friend and photographer. You will be missed. Stuff , as you always called me , will keep you in my heart

Hey Mr Norman. It´s your Jefferson Variety "wifey". It´s hard to believe you´re really gone.We haven´t seen you in so long. We always thought about you and even called to see how you were. Your presence is always felt , asking when the kids were selling candy again. Asking for things In your section. Messing with us all. And bringing in your papers to figure out the next second line collar you were working on. Whether we agreed or disagreed, we always worked well together. You will always be deeply missed .
