Nick popped in my door in Hyannis in early summer1970, a backpacker looking for a place to crash. It was a time of turmoil in America and I was just engaged in a heated exchange with a national guardsman about Vietnam. Sure man you can crash. Next morning we looked for job together flipped a coin for dishwasher offer. Hitched cross country end of summer. Various adventures. Left me in San Francisco gave me his boots. Wrote me in December about a great book he recommended lord of rings Tolkien. A year later we traveled to Belfast during troubles. Lived in Boston he drove cab. Good friend. Nick. Sad ...I thought Id see him again.

Great friend. Hadn't seen in forty years. Hoped to coming off Appalachian trail. O well. Time flies. Eternity waits. Bye old man. Another day on the other side? thanks

Nick was a fun friend and good neighbor. I will miss meeting him for impromptu happy hours at our local joint, the Tangled Vine. Also grateful that through Nick, I met a great friend - Susan!
