If Nick was considered middle of the road pro by you, you never saw the real Nick.
When he came off the road in the late seventies, he started playing in tournaments in the Boston area.
For a period of over a year, he never lost a set, in any tournament he played in. I know because, I started the streak and ended the streak.
The players in our area were first class. Nick just blew us all away. If you got to four against him in a race to seven, you were doing well.
On that road trip he made. He came home with a profit of $27,000, after expenses. I honestly felt he might have played nine-ball better than anyone I ever played.
I miss him a lot. He was buried on my birthday, April 22.
Thanks for reminding everyone Nick was here.
