Oh where to begin. I will miss his friendship so much and our frequent chats and phone calls. I’ve known Nick for over 32 years and was looking to many many more to come, preferably involving red wine, stilton cheese , skips and matchmakers (I could never remember if he preferred the green or orange ones the best). The last time I visited him in NC I was worried customs would open my suitcase and see the entire contents stuffed with chocolate for him !
Words to describe Nick would be funny, fiercely intelligent, irreverent, and kind. He could also be “careful” with money (he bought a pink ski suit because it was cheaper and he didn’t care that it was a women’s one). And tossing the coin as to who would pay the dinner bill (event though it was his turn !). I There are so many memories to share but some of the best ones are: him riding the tea cups at Disneyland with Martha(aged5) and then her trying to beat him at Mariocart; slagging off Sam Brown just as she walks by (as we were about to see her sing); being sent strange items in the past (apples, eggs to name but a few).; trying to fix his bow tie on with a safety pin for graduation and laughing as he ordered the wrong length dinner trousers (too short of course) I will miss asking him for TV and film recommendations. He introduced Paul and I to the Matrix when we were out in SF and its still one of my favourite films . Finally I have to say a special thanks to Yuchieh who sacrificed the last few years to look after and love Nick. ! Good bye Nick , much love Kratey xx ps I love this photo as it was taken just after graduation at ( Liza’s fantastic party), and he had the world at his feet after gaining a first class degree, and was off the USA !
