This is terrible news. I knew Nick only professionally, but among
one's professional acquaintances there are those who talk and those
who do, and Nick was always at the top of the list of those who do.
Perl will be much the poorer for his loss, and I am sure we will all
miss his contributions terribly.

Please give Medi my sincerest condolences.

At a loss for words. My deepest condolences to Medi.

A great, intelligent, man with whom I worked for 10 years, but never
got to meet in person. My condolences to Medi and family ...

This is very sad and a huge loss. Not just for those in the
communities that he participated in, but for anyone who knew Nick.

I was privileged to work with Nick at Texas Instruments for 7 years.
During that time he taught me many things. I have always felt a great
debt to Nick for how he helped shape my early career. He was an
intelligent person with a willingness to share his knowledge to help
others and one who had a great passion about everything he did.

He will be missed by many.

My sincere condolences go out to Medi and all of Nicks family.

Graham.

My goodness. I don't know what to say.
So sad as this news is, I would like to thank him again for his
enormous contribution to the perl community. Encode is just a small
part thereof.

My deepest condolences to Medi and all others who share this loss.

I'm very sad to hear this. Nick was always one of the most patient and
generous people out there helping anyone in any way that he could.

He kindly helped me on many occasions, and I sometimes feel like Nick
taught my everything that I know about XS.

I hope it's a small consolation to his family that he'll be so greatly
missed by so many people who, like myself, never even met him.

Steve

This is very sad news indeed. He gave generously of his time and talent,
and Perl is much the richer for it.

Indeed, he will be missed.

I am so sad to hear this. I only met Nick a few times in person, but
those times confirmed what I knew from on-line: he was a good man who did
good things and always treated people with impeccable respect. I will
miss him greatly.

My sincerest condolences to Medi and his family and friends.
