There are hardly enough words to describe what a wonderful EMT and teacher Nick was. He was a great EMS teacher – his classes were always interesting and fun! He let you play and learn at the same time, often with a snarky comment and a smile. He always had time to sit and chat with you….go over a scenario or talk about a call. I’m blessed to have known him.
I feel bad I couldn’t make it to memorial. To see the video brought tears and wonderful memories from when I was at SCEMS. Nicks smile was infectious. He was so kind hearted and compassionate towards folks. The last pic of him facing the wate like on the Titanic r was awesome. The Bible verse was so fitting. Til we meet in heaven Nick you will always have a special place in my heart and memories.
