We lost Nick on August 6, 2010...he had just celebrated his 80th year on this earth!

He was so full of life but I did notice he was a little frail...although he continued to keep up with or outdo most of us!

Every day was an adventure to be had and I was lucky enough to have shared a few of them with him and Rau these past few months.

The Everglades "funtrip" was the first and the best...Ali was the highlight when he sang "Sunshine" after she swam to our picnic-site as he said she would!
And the rest of the exploration, exotic animals, and perfect mango shakes!!! How did we manage to fit all that into one day?

Fairchild was next and a lovely time... as well as the last time we saw him...He did though, urge the visit to the Travelling Buddah , even though we missed seeing him that day...


His Brilliant Spirit will live in all of us who were privileged to have known him for even a moment.


We will miss you Nick...Love you.....Soar with the Angels!
