RIP Nick. I talked to him a couple of months ago . . . I can't believe that he's gone. It makes you think how any day could be your last.

RIP Nick
I never met him but had the chance to exchange some ideas over the phone a
few times. He seemed like a real easy going guy, and I can easily
understand why he had such a loyal customer base. It's obvious from
all the posts that he will be missed by many.

A true friend. I will miss him. Nick and I did business for 15 years. He was always there for me. Many a discussion was about family and how important that was. He will be missed by many.

The world lost a good guy and will be a lesser place without him. Rest in peace Nick. You will be sorely missed. John

I never got to meet Nick in person but we did talk on the phone, he was very helpful and seemed like a great guy. Our condolences to the family during this difficult time. The Mopar crowd lost another good one. May you rest in peace Nick angel

I am both saddened & stunned. Nick built the 520" engine in my SuperCar legal '68 Sport Fury. Met him at Carlisle a few years ago when I took delivery of that engine.

My thoughts are with his family.

I'm really gonna miss driving over to visit Nick on my day off just to drool over some of the engines in the build room/office. While there are other builders and cylinder head porters out there Nick was unique because he raced in the class that he built engines for.
His presence in the pits at Norwalk this year will be felt by everyone.

I didn't know Nick well,But I did know him for 28
years.In 1987 my brother was converting a 318 satellite
to 440 power and he bought most of the stuff from Nick.
At the time he lived in North Ridgeville and he had a barn
full of Mopar stuff. I remember being really Impressed
by this total Mopar freak. I'll miss him. RIP
Mike

Sorry to hear this, I always enjoyed talking to Nick at Compuflow and at the track, always willing to stand there and share knowledge and explain stuff even though you could tell he was super busy. He will be missed.

Very sorry to hear this.

Nick talked me into a set of Indy SRs heads way back when and saved me over $1000 when he could have just as easily took my money.

RIP
