| Message | I was deeply saddened to learn of the accident and loss of Nick. I was just getting to know Nick, having first invited him to a San Diego Financial Executives Dinner last October. And then seeing and talking with him again at SDFEI's April dinner. Nick and I had an enthusiastic discussion at the April dinner as we were both involved in finance and accounting in the biofuels industry. We had something in common to talk about in the future. We were going to get together over lunch or coffee to share our experiences. Losing a friend is so sad, and only emphasizes the importance of enjoying our friendships in the moment, and not wait for the future. My prayers to the family. Nick's spirit lives on. |

| Message | I did my first and last double century with Nick two years ago at the Davis Double. Ironically, Nick was also my first biking buddy back in 1977. We grew up together on Azucena Ave. tearing up the neighborhood on our bikes. The Davis Double was the first time I had seen Nick since high school. We had reconnected on Facebook, and it was Nick who reached out and encouraged me to join him on the Davis Double. I was glad I did. It was a great day, despite going through four spare tubes between us within the first 20 miles. Nick would drop me like a bad habit on the climbs, but would always be waiting to regroup at the top. We got to spend the whole day catching up, and taking our time on the ride. We talked about his family and the trips they had taken, the trips they were going to take, and how much he was looking forward to the ride across California the next year with Nicholas. He was so excited for that event! Nick had all the attributes I really respect in a person: intelligence, kindness, strength, patience. Frankly, he was just a good guy. He was a large part of my life when I was young, and I’m a better person because of it. I’m thankful I got to know him again, and thankful I got to ride with him again. I’ll always remember him. What’s the right number of bikes? Just one more! |

| Message | I'm very happy that I got to know Nick. I will always remember the story that he told me about his bike trip from Arizona to the beach with his son and a group from the YMCA. He made me want to make that trip myself. (I have not done it yet) I will miss him, and will be happy to help with the kids around Poway in the future, as I'm sure he would have done for me. I will remember him. |

| Message | I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Nick’s family. I first met Nick when he joined the Ambit Finance team early in 2010 and I had the distinct pleasure of working with him over the following year. Nick was a professional of the highest integrity and commitment. His style and approach had a positive impact on everyone he worked with. I am truly glad that I had the opportunity to know Nick; however brief. Nick was really one of the good guys and will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nick’s family and friends at this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. |

| Message | I was very saddened to learn of Nick's passing. I very much enjoyed meeting him last year when Jean (Kay) and I met Nick and Deb for dinner. He struck me immediately as a man very much in love with his wife, with his family, and with life in general. Deb, you and the kids are in our prayers. God Bless You. |

| Message | I had the great pleasure to work with Nick for 4 years at Nanogen. He was truly a great colleague to work with and I appreciated his professionalism and understanding. After reading all the recollections of his colleagues, I can only agree with everything that has been written. I am so sad for Deb and the children. My strong recollection is of their photograph which was always prominently displayed above Nick's desk. My deepest sympathies to the Nick's family. |

| Message | I knew Nick through Tony DiLorenzo. We rode together several times. I remember Nick as a really nice guy. It was obvious he loved his family by the way he talked about them. I'm praying for his family and friends at this difficult time. -Paul LaBrec |

| Message | I worked with Nick at Sapphire Energy, Inc. and even though he was only with us for a several months, all of us knew that this was the place for him. During the past months, Nick said he was dedicated to making our company the best and we talked about making those plans happen in great length. Our lives were enriched by his presence and we are thankful for that. God bless Deb and their children. You will be missed Nick..... |
