Nicky was a loyal friend and business associate who went above and beyond for all that he met. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years and he will be deeply missed. We worked together on many projects during my career at Bloomberg and his devotion and expertise is what made them successful. Nicky not only designed and managed the data portion but also made sure that every trade on that job was doing what they needed to do. Many times I recieved calls from Nicky that starting with " I just want to make sure you know". Nicky cared enough to always go above and beyond. As Mike Mandano said "Nicky position will be filled but he can never be replaced" God Bless you Nicky.
