Nik was an amazing friend and family man and a brother to hundreds of people on many different common grounds. Whether it was hunting, fishing, lobstering, golfing, or playing softball, you could always depend on Nik for a wise comment, a funny joke or the sound of his inhaler puffing twice to be sure he was ready for the next big adventure.
