Nick's sudden death came as a shock to all of us. According to daughter, Merrianne: "he had ben having some heart issues and his Parkinson's was getting worse. He was failing, but not the point that any of us expected him to die. He went to the grocery store and sat down on a bench inside the door, presumably to rest a minute, and never got up. Massive coronary."
