I was very sorry to hear of Nick's passing. I called on Nick while he worked @ Anheuser-Busch...his creative talents and wonderful demeaner were top shelf. Twenty five years his junior, Nick could have easily ignored my aspirations to work with A-B but he had a lot to give and was glad to do so.



My prayers are with the Nick Bova family.

We are so sad that Nick died so suddenly. We wish we could have been there like other Christmases to enjoy his dry humor. Our love and prayers are with you all.
