Cheryl:

I worked across the hall from Nick at Baker Industrial. I am so sorry to hear about Nick's passing. It came as such a shock. The last time I saw Nick was last wednesday before I left for NYC and he had a big smile on his face and I hope that you don't mind, but that is the way that I would like to remember him. I am sorry that I can't come to the calling hours, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
