I just found out when I checked the Nickles Facebook page. He was a grate friend and coworker for all those years at Nickles . And one of those people who I wished would be still living a happy life years after they put me in the ground , But I guess it wasn’t to be . So Dude keep an eye out for me coming across that rainbow bridge . I’ll try to sneak some good herb in with me for old times. Peace
