Nicholas played high school football and baseball. He attended Lincoln University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, he pledged to Omega Psi Phi., His degree led him to a career as an NY State Corrections Officer for over twenty-five years. Nicholas stood firm in doing his job to the best of his ability. He believed in training newer officers the correct way to jail. His wife would always say, “You don’t have to be part of the welcome committee” his response “Stop being so dammed mean.” Nicholas continued to be part of that welcome committee; he continued to be your advisor, counselor, therapist, and, most of all, your friend.
