Nick was a good friend of my wife and I for many years. Nice was a really nice and friendly guy. I loved all his stories and gossip. He always made me laugh. I would usually buy him dinner as he traveled from Vegas to So Cal to repair my machines. He was also very generous. He would give me throw in items like shooter rods etc with my games.
I purchased a lot of machines from Nick and he spent many days repairing some of my more difficult pinball repairs. He helped me restore a STNG over a five year period. We took our time. The game was a mess. It is finally done!! He worked on it just a few months ago. He would also help me move machines that I would buy locally when he was in town. Several years ago we my wife and I met up with Nick and Eric and went to the Eiffel Tower restaurant in Paris! We had a great time. I will treasure the memories!
Rest in peace my friend. We will miss you!! Tony and Shaz.
