Hello Tracey, Flo and I are so sad to hear of Nigel's death. I was just looking at some photos taken of a family get-together at Christmas probably 40 years ago. They were great times. Love and condolences Flo & Allan

My deepest condolences to you Tracey and family. Nigel was a good friend. We had many discussions over his hobby "Model Kits". Nigel was a long time member of the IPMS model club and his enthusiasm for his hobby and friendship will be greatly missed.

When I said relax - this is not what I meant. Your laugh, and ability to drop what you were doing to answer my dumb questions will be missed. Thanks for all you’ve taught me Nige

Having Nigel as a McCulloch & Partners office team workmate for 4 years was an absolute pleasure. His knowledge and ability to help any staff member with a problem was outstanding. Sharing a passion for golf & sport gave us great debates.
So many fond memories of the big guy.
Condolences to Tracey and Family.

Sorry to hear the sad news. Our condolences Tracy. Gerry and I and the Lockett family here in OZ enjoyed the visit Nigel made over here with Kevin. It was great to catch up as we are so far away. Mum especially enjoyed the visits at hospital. Far too young. RIP
