Nick gave so many children a great foundation in life through his love of and inspiring ways of teaching. He was my first trumpet teacher back in 1987 at Haddenham Middle school and he got me to join the AMC Junior Brass band. That was my first step. Over the years he & Kathy taught, encouraged, pushed to get the best while ensuring all the while it remained fun. Fast forward to 1996 I joined a big band outside of AMC eventually taking it over and to this day Big Band Swing is still going strong with several AMC alumni playing as members of the band or depping. A remarkable man, one who will be missed by so many. Many thoughts with Kathy at this hard time. God bless you Nick and thank you.
