hi mate thinking of you. keep meaning to watch peaky blinders as know you liked it and i see that photo of you in the cap looking very cheely chappie like. anyway you were sorely missed this year. me mart and daz had a game of texas scramble and my goodness we need a solid all rounder ! rest in peace sorely sorely missed love pete xx

hi mate i think about your virtually every day as for some strange reason a photo of you pops up every time i close my laptop down so there is no escape and it makes me smile. I miss you very much and i miss your banter and your laugh and the wonderful times we had. Me and daz and mart even managed a trip to brancaster in october mid lockdown and we had to learn a new game of 2 ball versus 1 ball and we needed you to work out the handicaps and i needed you to beat those bandits ! anyway rest in peace and rise in glory. all my love pete x

I shall miss the best of friends, his conversation, wonderful humour and unwavering support through the years. Mart x

Nick, you will obviously be very sadly missed by all of your family and also by me and all of your very many friends, both at the Golf Club and elsewhere in the much wider circle of your very successful and fulfilling life. Over the years I got to know you well and always appreciated your honesty, openness, commitment and that wonderful sense of humour!. Thank you so much for everything! That was of course, really was just you being you, a truly great guy and good friend. Colin Hughes

Fiona and Isabel we are so sorry for your loss. Nick was a man who always raised our game in terms of doing the right thing in the right way. He will continue to be an example for us as we strive to live our better selves. We will miss his fun personality and love of life and our only regret is that we did not have the opportunity to spend even more time with him. Love from The Sinclair’s xx

We'll remember Nick with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a joie d'vivre that was palpable. We loved his company and generosity of spirit, which always extended to his amazing red wine of course. Fiona and Isabel we are deeply sad that Nick has gone, our love and thoughts are with you. Sandra and Tony xx

Dearest Fiona and Isabel, so very sorry to read your sad news at this time. Sending you lots of love and strength from the other side of the world at this difficult time. Maxime ❤️❤️

Dear Fiona, I'm so sad to hear that Nick passed away. He was a great boss, tutor and friend to me. He really was a kind, generous and funny guy. My thoughts are with you and Isabel. Love, Freyja xxx

Dear Fiona, my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult period and I wish you energy and positivism for the future as well! I know what it is to lose a close family member to this awful disease, so I know what you live. Therefore I would like also to offer the possibility to contact, speak with me in case of need, nowadays or in the future. Warm greetings, your Bordeaux colleague Wim from Belgium

Dear Fiona - what great pictures. I will miss Nick immensely and will be thinking of the three of you on 3rd June as I raise a glass of something suitably good in Nick's memory. Robin Copestick. xxx

Fiona, so sad to hear about Nick’s death. He certainly joins that list of true gentlemen of the trade and a chap who was hugely respected and so well-liked. A real character and he’ll be missed for sure. We are losing too many wine trade friends too early. Sending love and condolences. David Cox x

Nick, you were a 'top lad' and I loved your company. Your dry sense of humour was legendary and you brought happiness and laughter.

Please feel free to add any brief memories or thoughts of Nick here or under Lifestories
