Taken too soon nick was a great son in law to me and Terry.
He will be dearly missed and our hearts go out to our daughter Elizabeth and all her children and grandchildren. The hurt this nasty cancer has brought on the family’s is intolerable.
Nick was always helping others, helping us in times of troubles is car problem, house problem , he was our daughters rock and sole mate, we couldn’t wish for a better man to look after our Liz.
No words will help our Liz and family for a while but rest suited their love is eternal. Rest in peace nick.

Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our Dad was the greatest gift of all. You taught me that words are quickly forgotten, but deeds are always remembered. If I could have imparted one thing it would be to help others, be a participant and not a watcher. Too pay it forward...
You live through me, everything I do and say, you were my teacher, my ambassador and my coach.
You were my hero. You were always there when I needed you, teaching me to navigate life with kindness. And if I felt something was impossible, you made me believe nothing is impossible and to just get on with it and to never be scared.
You really were the best, And even though you are not here, The time we had was blessed.
I wish I had just one more chance
To see that tender smile, To laugh with you again, my Dad, Just for a little while. So, this is not goodbye And this is not goodnight, Because you're still here by my side. Holding onto me so tight and I know you are watching over me. I love you always.
Your daughter Charlotte x x

We at Siemens are deeply saddened to hear of our colleagues passing. Losing someone so admired is incredibly hard. He was a man whose word meant everything, if he made a promise, he kept it. His integrity, reliability, and leadership showed in everything he did - especially in challenging moments.

He brought calm confidence to every situation and earned respect simply through his actions.

Although his loss leaves a significant gap, we remain grateful for the example he set and the positive impact he had on all around us. He will be remembered with deep respect, appreciation, and affection.

May you rest in peace Nick

Dad, you will be profoundly missed by all of us. This photo of you in the blue T-shirt is my favourite because it captures the essence of who you truly were. It conveys so much more than words can express. Your smile beautifully reflects the kind soul you embodied, radiating genuine warmth and love. Rest in peace, Dad. Xx 💕

Nick,
You walked me down the aisle.
You stood proudly at my graduation.
You lovingly looked after my babies.
You were my protector, steady, kind, and always there when I needed you most.
I will be forever grateful for your love.
Until we meet again, rest in peace dad 🤍 🤍
