Known for his vibrant energy, sharp wit, and zest for life, he left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Having made The Bahamas his home for over 40 years, Nicholas lived in Abaco before settling in Cat Island, where he found his “forever home.” It was there he met and married the love of his life, Lillian Manette Poitier, with whom he shared 26 years of marriage.

• Grandnephews: Will and Tom Elwes, Oliver and Ames Turnquest
