So sorry for your loss. A lot of us have never met but we feel like we know each other .....kind of like a big family. Come to Negril & you will see what your father love about Jamaica. We never know when our time will come but I am so glad he had just returned from his special place in Negril.
Getting Old Isn't For Sissy's!!
Oh, my gosh. So sorry for your loss. I remember the ackee avatar and his posts well. Such a character and great stories. Always made me laugh! Wish I could find the story he told about his first trip to Negril. If I can remember right, he and a friend were supposed to take a trip to Mexico but somehow ended up in Negril. Maybe you know the story. Excellent idea about going to Negril, Erin. Lots of people, me included, have found comfort, peace and healing there, and like Blandy said, you would experience what your dad loved so much about it. Will definitely have a cold one for Nick the next time I'm in Jamaica. Thanks for letting us know.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Like Maryann, I remember his ackee avatar very well. That is so awesome that you found your dad's posts here on Negril.com.
Erin,
Lisa (Bnewb) and I are both saddened by the news. We have spent many many wonderful hours sharing stories with your Dad over the years. We were looking forward to seeing him again this year. It would be our pleasure to meet you and help out in any way we can when you come down.
We are sorry to hear the news, but feel incredibly lucky to have met your Dad.

Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
I am very sorry for your loss. I recently lost my own father and simpathize. Despite not knowing or having met him, he sure seems like a guy I would have enjoyed meeting and spending some time with. I remember his letter to Jimmy and based on my own experience understood his point of view.
"Bar fight"...........meet my buddy Nick......Is there a PROBLEM HERE?
As others have said....bring friends and family to Negril....it's never too late to experience what drew him there.
Erin, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad sure looks like he was a lot of fun to be around! I'm sure its been rather bittersweet coming across his profile here, but I hope you will be encouraged to take a trip to Negril someday to see firsthand why your Dad loved it so much! Thanks for taking the time to post. Take care.
Erin, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I enjoyed reading his posts! My sympathies to you, your family, & your Dad's friends.
Sorry for your loss, I'm glad you found your Dad's posts and hopefully one day you will visit and see why we all love it so.
Never met your pops but one look at those photos tells you there's a "dude" that lives life,there's other ways to do it ,but I think that's the best way! Peace
As an old timer to Negril, Nick and I had a few board discussions about Negril in the early 70's.
RIP, Nick.
Regards,
Bob
