I am deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Nichols passing. He was a generous man with an enormous love for children and education. I will be forever grateful for his generosity and scholarship for Reena Patton, 1984-1988. It is because of Mr. Nichols compassion that my daughter achieved her full academic potential. Mr. Nichols will always be in our hearts and memories forever.
