Was just browsing the web when through some circuitous route that I can´t reconstruct I ran across nick´s obituary. Way too young for him to pass but then to me, he´ll always be that 21 year old guy with the Bobbie Gentry show. My hat is forever off to you Nick. More joie de vivre than I ever thought possible for a human to have. Goodbye and good luck in your next stop.

Your smile, your sweet spirit and your enormous talent will always be missed by those of us who had the privilege to know you.
Fly high, Nick!
I am attaching a photo of Nick and Paul, along with the rest of Lee Greenwood's band. This was taken in Nashville in June 1984.

Thank you.

I just found out about a kindred spirit gone from my life . Even though we hadn't spoken in many years I never have felt like we were apart. That's the kind of person Nick was. I first met him at FSU in 1969 and have met few others with his talent of giving. I'll never forget how bright his light shone and how everyone who knew him were blessed It's amazing to find out that Dr and Mrs Uhrig made me feel as special as they did others. This is a trait they passed on to Nick. Thanks for the memories.

I knew Nick when I lived in No. Hollywood in the late 1970s. I, and my 2 girls lived next door. Nick was always so friendly & kind. One night he & his girlfriend at the time invited me over to listen to a recording they had done. They encouraged me to sing along, but I'd always been terrified to sing in front of people. Nick was so terrific & bc of him I did sing along & he actually taught me to harmonize! I have never forgotten how he brought me out of my shell. I lost track of him when he & Deneice broke up & he moved to Nashville. I just learned of his passing on the Internet. God bless his family. RIP, Nick.

Especially during these last two days the many memories of Nick fill my thoughts. Although there is a big hole in our hearts, we're all grateful for the fun times and his big smiles. Nick, we can hear you singing amidst the angels. e

I was talking with my 21 yr. old son who is currently on tour with his band. As I was reflecting back when I came out to California and sharing with him about the musicians I met and how we all had so much fun that particular summer. I thought about Nick and Paul and Marc and Steve Turner and Bob Mockler and all the great music they constantly provided. I decided to find Nick on Facebook and found that he has gone to heaven. My sons father just passed on Dec 24 last year. I felt so sad even though we were not together for many years. That same sadness came over me when I read about Nick-I had loved him too. I'll never forget those times living at 39 N. Venice Blvd. So sorry about Nick's passing Dr. & Mrs. Uhrig(I met you once when you visited Ca.) and my best to Paul his lovely brother.

In the summer of 1970 Nick and Paul welcomed me into the Uhrig family and their musical world. Alot was accomplished in a very short time largely due to their ambitious talent and showmanship. At Paul's 50th birthday several years back in Nashville, I saw all the Uhrigs again. Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig hadn't changed much over the many years - as brightly warm and animated as ever. Anyone who knew the Uhrigs well at all, also knew that the key source of success and light in the lives of Nick and Paul came from the deep and unwaivering devotion of their parents. Very much miss them all.

Dr. And Mrs. Uhrig and Paul,
I hope the cherished memories of Nick continue to give you comfort. My memories of my time with him are just as sweet now as they were almost 50 years ago. Arguing about the talents of the Beatles vs the Dave Clark Five, hanging out, pretending he was my little brother, and having that first band play in my garage for my 16th birthday are just a few moments in my life that helped make me who I am today. May God bless your family with the knowledge that Nick influenced so many lives in a positive way.

I met Nick in the fourth grade in Chattahoochee and "fell in love" with him. Though I had not seen him in many, many years, I never forgot him and was always glad to hear of his successes in life. I was so very sorry to hear of his death. My heart goes out to Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig and to Paul. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Nick's family,
I just learned about Nick's passing, and I too am very sorry for your loss - also the loss of all who knew him. I lived around the corner like Charlie O, and have many fond memories of Nick, the band, and the teen club. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul and families:
I am so sorry for your loss. Nick was a very special person. The last time I saw him was at Pensacola Interstate Fair when he and Paul were with Lee Greenwood. We ran into each other by accident. I couldn't believe he remembered me but he did. He told me he had a son and I told him I had two sons. He wanted to meet them so I brought my boys over to meet him and they thought they'd met one of the Beatles! He shook hands with them and they were very impressed. He gave me one of those Hollywood kisses, smiled, and left.
You all will be in my prayers.

I am so very sorry.

Paul,
I will address this to you since I never had the pleasure of meeting your parents but please let them know how much I thought of Nick and how much I will miss him.
When I first came to work for Greenwood, you and Nick were the first ones out of the bus introducing yourselves. You both had a lot of compassion for what a road crew had to go through and that made it an easier day for all. During that time I became very good friends with Nick and will always remember the incredibly good times we had.
I will never forget seeing you guys jump out of that limo at the Eddie Murphy show in New York.
I last saw Nick in Branson while he was with Barbara and we picked it up right where we left off.
When Mark told me yesterday what had happened, there was an immediate, extreme sadness. But I then started remembering the way he celebrated life and now I will be celebrating, not the death, but the life of Nick Uhrig.
He truly was one of the good guys!!!

Dear Dr. & Ms. Uhrig & Paul,
I was so very sorry to read about the death of Nic in my last issue of Twin City News! The nostalgic photo reminded me of those years so long ago when he and Paul played at so many dances. Paul was in my class and Nic in my brother's (Carey Lynn Hill). He and I talked about Nic tonight by phone (I am in New Jersey, and he in Orlando). Please accept our most sincere condolsences...and my very best to Paul!! Take good care....I hope your fond memories are a comfort. It is all we have!

Does anybody know if there is going to be a memorial service for Nick? I called the funeral home in Nashville and was told there wasn't one there and they didn't know if there would be one here. He gave so much to all of us and was hoping that there would be one.

Uhrig Family, I am so very sorry to hear about Nick's sudden passing. I remember all the fun we had in 1967-68 going to dances where Bryllig played in north Florida and what a sweet boy Nick was. He and Paul have always had a special place in my heart. I know he is singing with the angels!

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig and Paul,
My brother Dennis, informed me this week of Nick's passing. I could not believe it. Nick gave so much of himself to everyone he knew. He had a way of making you feel like you were a star. Some of the best of my memories from high school always included Nick. I can remember following the bands around North Florida to see them perform. He could always make you laugh. He showed all of us that we could become successful or even a "star" even if we did grow up in "the Hootch." We were all so proud of his accomplishments. I've kept up with he and Paul through John Harris. John would always visit us over the Holidays when we came home. Please know that we all loved him as our own and have you in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the honor of producing Nick and Marc Piscitelli in the '70s, and writing with Nick. Their individual and collective talent and admiration for each other taught me a lot about life. Nick was special. I will miss him. I'm the one who will have to deal with losing contact with him over the years. RIP, my friend.

Dear Dr. & Mrs. Uhrig & Paul,
For all the teenagers in Chattahoochee during the sixties Nick and Paul were our "Beatles". They will always be the music of our youth. I could write pages about Nick but simply put he was the "BEST" and my life is much richer having known him, Paul and Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig,
It was with great sadness that I learned of Nick's recent passing. He was a great guy who I became better friends with after our school years. He always had great seats for me and my family at every concert. We were able to go backstage and many times visited with he and Paul. My daughter has special memories of how he arranged for her to meet everyone at a Barbara Mandrell concert. He will be missed.

I just read about Nicki's passing today and wanted to send my deepest and sincerest sympathies to the Uhrig family. I have wonderful memories of Nicki and all the gigs that I got to go on in the late 60's. Memories of riding in the "Swabemobile" have been a major part of my life. I always tried to "keep up" with what he and Paul were doing musically and was very proud of both of them. When I first came back to Tallahassee in 1998 I was in touch with Nicki briefly. Those are also treasured memories. May God hold your family in the palms of His hands during this difficult time and bring you some comfort and peace.

It indicates I can add a photo here and I wasn't sure how else to get it to you though I am sure you probably still have a copy. I have treasured it for YEARS! I am sure that Nicki is singing with the angels! :-)

Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul, and family, Amy (Hill) and I offer our deepest condolences. Lots of great memories come to mind as I think of Nick; how he was loved by all. It really does seem like just yesterday we were all marching together in those bright orange CHS band uniforms performing at football games, the Blue-Gray Bowl, State Band contests, Halloween parade, and going to the Teen Club to hear him and Paul play. God bless you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr.and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul, and family, I was so very shocked and saddened when I heard the news on Sunday morning. As I, told Ms. Uhrig, Nick always made me feel like I was his best friend and he had an innate talent to make eveyone feel this way. I still remember playing with him when we were young boys and him telling me that he had to go home and practice drums. What a remarkable memory he is in my life.

Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul and extended family. I was so saddened to hear of Nick's passing. He is a big part of my memories of growing up in Chattahoochee.

I just heard today about Nick's passing away. I have thought of him often after he left Gadsden County. I have a friend in Nashville that always told me how well he and Paul were doing. This world has lost a wonderful person....with a BEAUTIFUL SMILE that was from his heart. I will always remember the portraits Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig had on the wall in their livingroom of Nick and Paul. My heart goes out to you and know that Nick is already playing in a band in Heaven. Paul....your smile is just as beautiful!! I will always remember him as "my boyfriend"!!!

Dr. & Mrs. Uhrig and family, I just learned of Nick's passing and wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. I have not had the honor of seeing Nick again since our high school days. All of us at CHS have such fond memories of Bryllig and the Nymbol Swabes and were so proud of them. Nick was a friend to all of us and will be missed by everyone. You can be so honored by having a son that everyone thought so much of. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul and extended family, I am so very saddened by the news of Nick's passing. I have thought so much of him throughout the years and have wondered how he was doing, where he was and what music he might be now playing. Numerous times I attempted to find him via the Internet with no success and I am sorry that I never had the opportunity to see and talk with him once more. I have many, many special memories of Nick - singing in the Presbyterian Youth Choir together, CHS band, trips to Graceville and riding with you in those wonderful old T-Birds to listen to his band, and just growing up together in Chattahoochee. My last memories of him are when we ran into each other at FSU in the early 70s and had a brief chance to reconnect. He will always remain a very special part of my childhood and teenage memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr. and Mrs. Uhrig, Paul and family, I am very sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. He has always held a special place in my memories of growing up in Chattahoochee. It is hard to believe that he is no longer with us. Although it’s been 40 years since we graduated, it seems like it was only yesterday that I was living only a few houses down the street from Nick’s house. I spend many a day at his home. I have lots of good memories of the Uhrig family. Growing up in Chattahoochee, I had an extended family that looked out of me that was true of the Uhrigs. I will always hold Nick’s as a special friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family.

After reading of Nick's passing today, I thought of many happy memories of being in the CHS band with Broox Jones as the director. The trips to district and state band competitions, listening to Nick play anything he wished on a drum, the time spent at the Pfaender's having fun, etc. Those were truly fun times that bring a chuckle. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
