We just found out that Mr. Nicklow passed away and are so saddened by his passing. He was the best next door neighbor anyone could have. I will never forget all the times he and dad spent together.

Mr. Nicklow was a fun neighbor to talk with. He was called the Mayor of Toepfer Road and he will be missed. We all appreciated all the things he did for our street. Our prayers are with your family.

Lawrence/Larry, aka grandpa (1918-2010). Parent, grandparent, mentor, ornery partner in chocolaty crime, and my inspiration for becoming an engineer. You are my best friend, and I will miss our talks, your wisdom, and infinite support. I will never forget you, and will forever love & miss you. Rest in peace, and know that you were appreciated beyond words.

Larry was a wonderful man and a great witness for Christ. We bought a camper from him some years ago and so enjoyed the stories about the adventures he and Ruby had in it as they traveled the country. We could not have asked for a better neighbor and greatly appreciate all he did for us over the years. We will miss him around the neighborhood but look forward to seeing him again in heaven.
We are keeping you in our prayers.
