Nick, I only remember you from stories my dad, a friend of yours in boyhood, told me about you. Your death left a hole in my father's heart that never healed, as he counted you a true friend that died far too soon.
It's been a long, long time, but you will never be forgotten by my family, and my son is named for you.
The world became a bit less of a place when you died; wish there were more people like you.
