I remember Nick as a very kind and supportive friend at university. I will never forget how he looked out for me and anyone who was lucky enough to be friends with him.
He will be greatly missed.

I worked in the virology lab with Nick during COVID at the LRI. He always kept everyone smiling and I’m so grateful that I was able to call him my friend… He will be missed

Nick came down and joined the club when he moved into the area. From the moment we first met everybody appreciated what a genuinely likeable person he was on so many levels. Even though he had not been a member for long , he made a lasting impression on everyone and we are all devastated by the news. RIP Nick
