Gerald Nickols

Just saw on Nor Cal Olds site, that Ron said his brother Gerald past away Friday. He was on this site as Nicolds, not posting much the last couple years,as he has had health problems last couple. Was a big Olds supporter, knew a lot about them, and raced them, I think his brother still races them.RIP

Sad to hear that. Gerald Nickels has been a fixture in Oldsworld as long as I've been in OCA which will be 40 years come October.

RIP Mr 65 man.

Is this the same CO member as @Gerald Nickels from Northern Ca? Because he's been active fairly recently.

Really sorry to hear this. He was a very nice and helpful guy and was building a very nice and unique 63 Olds.

I have seen his name many times. No personal dealings with him. Sounded like a great person. May he rest in peace.
