Nick Nicholson passed away...

An old friend from the past is no more. Nick Nicholson died in a hospital in Manila last night, august 11 at 10.30 pm. He suffered succesive heart attacks last month, this combined with his diabetes and a stroke that left him partially unabled made it an unfair struggle he couldn't win. It's over 26 years ago we met for the first time on the filmset. As an old Vietnam veteran he was involved in many action films about the Nam war, like Apocalypse Now, Platoon and Born on the 4th of July, but was also active in local productions by Cirio Santiago and Bobbie Suarez. He left an impressive filmography. The movies were his passion and he never stopped writing about his experiences on and around the filmset, I hope the book he was creating (though not finished yet), will face the bookstores. He had so many great stories... It was a turbulent last year for Nick, with ups and, alot more downs... It will be tough times for his wife Annie who stood by his side till the end, still she found time to up-date me about Nick's situation.
It will never be the same...! My thoughts are with you my dear.

Nick, rest in peace.

Nick and Annie in better days.
