He began his career in facilities engineering and later transitioned into security, where he rose to the role of Head of Security, a position he held for the majority of his career. His dedication, reliability, and professionalism left a lasting impression on colleagues throughout the hospital.
Nick was a proud member of the Upton Grange and the Grafton Writers Club. He enjoyed a wide variety of interests, including playing billiards, bowling, dancing, restoring and admiring antique cars, and playing chess.
