I first met Nicolas 5 years ago in São Paulo and was immediately struck by his correctness up to the point he insisting in coming to our office in Itaim in a suit and tie no matter it being over 30c! But this was Nicholas very correct very honest and as I found out later a very caring individual especially to my daughter Daniela and son Alec We are all devastated by the news of his passing - it has shaken us all and we all feel a terrible sense of loss but at the same time feel very honored to have met and know him and only wish ti have more time with him and get to know him more RIP Nicholas the world is a poorer place with out you it was a privilege to have known you
