Nick was on Works Orders for many years, based on the first floor Dial House S E, but working throughout the building. He was an active social member of the Dial House scene and will be remembered fondly by many.
Nick had been battling a terminal illness for some time with courage and dignity.
His partner Katey will keep us informed regarding funeral arrangements.
