So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember him as quiet, but with a sense of humor. My apologies for missing the visitation - you are all in my thoughts and prayers right now. He is in good company up there!

Truly sorry about the loss of my Uncle Steve. Thoughts and prayers to all Nichins on his passing. Great guy, wonderful uncle, he and family lived upstairs from my grandpa and grandma Nichin when I was growing up in Chicago, in a classic Chicago two-flat. God Bless you uncle Steve!
