My little brother was 49. Less than a month ago I was standing with him in Indiana and he was talking about how excited he was for me about the rumoured Stones shows. He was talking about how the shows way back in 1981 at the Pontiac Silverdome that I took him to were his first concerts and how he still had great memories of the shows. He was 18 then.He said it was one of the best nights he had ever had. Before I flew back to New Zealand , I told him that if there were US shows again in 2013 I would take him to one.

They found him at home today in bed, gone from a massive heart attack. It will never happen like we talked about. Life turns on a dime. My little brother knew how to have a good time, and while never the picture of success, he had a heart as big as the sky. All I can ask that anyone who reads this with a beer in hand, stop for a second and think "Here's to you Nicky, I never knew you, but R.I.P."

Let's drink to the hard working people....

So sorry to learn of your sad loss, Steve. RIP Nicky and yes, I'll raise a glass to that.

Tonight, in a small Spanish city (Pamplona, the city of the running of the bulls), someone with a beer in his hand will say " "Here's to you Nicky, I never knew you, but R.I.P.".

Sorry for your sad loss, let us hope it's something in what we say: " Hope I see you in Heaven !"

Very sorry to hear about your loss Kahoosier. You've always been a great soul here.
Rock on Nicky

Steve, shocked when I read the above, so as it's 08:45 here in London at the moment, I'm raising a cup of tea to him .... but it'll be the wine glass this evening.

And when we see you here in three weeks time, a few more too.

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

So sorry for your loss! You are doing right by remember the good times and the adventurous soul of your brother. Take care in this time of sadness and reflection.

I am very sorry for your loss, kahoosier.
