I'm so thankful I got to spend some time with him ~ Nick was a dear friend for many years; he always had a positive outlook on life, was the first to offer a friendly word ~ he loved his family and was so proud of them, and was a person of honor in business and life. He was an exceptional human being. My love to the family and all the many friends.

Mr. Nicol was a kind and gracious Gentleman. He sold me my first Honda and the last 2 and he was someone I knew I could trust to be honest in every way. I will miss his quiet ways and good heart. I was blessed to have known him.

Mr. Nick.....When I think of you, first thing that comes to mind is your smile. No matter what, you had that great big happy smile on your face, that made everyone else smile. You were a true gentleman, who was honest, very knowledgeable, comical, kind and most of all, determined not to let your health problems bring you down. You were a good man and I'm very happy to have known you and call you my friend. You will truly be missed. To Mr. Nick's Family....Our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although this is a sad time, it's also a time to celebrate the end of a very long and productive life. May you feel comfort knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.

			HAMPTON - Alexander M. Nicol (Nick), 79, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012. A longtime Hampton resident, he was the son of Alexander R. and Elsie Nicol, who preceded him in death. Alex was also preceded in death by his beloved wife, Betty M. Nicol; a sister, Yvonne Morgan; and a great great-granddaughter, A'Layah Small. He graduated from Newport News High School and took some college courses through the University of Virginia. Selling cars and anything to do with the car business were his life and passion. Every conversation would lead back to car sales. Alex was employed by Williams Honda as a salesman and manager for the majority of his career, even working into his 70's part-time until his heart condition prohibited him from continuing with what he loved. One of his Facebook friends posted that he proved car sales an honorable profession. In retirement, he was always at the dining room table on his laptop searching the Internet, listening to music, watching videos, and posting to Facebook. He was on Facebook before some of his adult children!
