| Message | I worked with Nick at Nanogen for 3 years. He headed our finance and I worked in legal. We worked on projects together often. I always enjoyed working with him or just talking to him about our lives and families; we were the same age and we had a lot in common. Nick seemed to enjoy talking about his family, and it was apparent to me that he cherished his wife and kids and that he loved his life, especially his home life. Smart, kind, honest, and extremely reliable, he was the perfect comrade at work, and I wish I had spent more time with Nick and his family outside of work. Nick's untimely passing is a jolting reminder that I need to spend more time with the people I really like and respect. |
