It is with great sadness that we offer sincere condolences to you Nina and your wonderful family at this time of Eric's passing. Our fond memories of him as former students, and later colleagues leave us forever grateful for the exemplary manner he demonstrated during his years in Dominion. As a true gentleman with everyone he encountered, his calm, respectful, and dignified persona was a wonderful example to students, parents and staff alike. He has made an indelible mark on each of those he engaged with and our community has been blessed in having him serve us so well.

To the Nicholson Family ,
We send along our sincere condolences , A quote you would hear often "Got to go see Mr. Nicholson , in his office" , 90% of the students in town of Dominion met Eric this way. You may have been a bit nervous going there , but as you walked in and sat down that all seemed to disappear. When you are met with a smile and a person who listened this is he . We were fortunate to have him as our school principal , thoughts and prayers from the Scattolon Family

I was saddened to see that “Eric” Mr. Nicholson passed away. He was a true gentleman, admired and respected by all who knew him. Mr. Nicholson left an indelible mark on many children of Dominion, myself included. He was so caring and kind to the kids from Dominion. We were lucky to be brought up under his guidance. May he “Rest in Peace”
Sincerely,

Dear Nina and family,
Sending our deepest condolences on Eric's passing. I have many fond memories of Eric, having spent so much of my childhood in and around your home, playing with Bill. Many of the neighborhood kids thought your yard ideal for hide-and-seek, tag, and any games we could imagine. There was never any doubting Eric was an educator. He was kind and patient with the lot of us, even when we scribbled chalk all over your newly paved driveway. It meant a lot to kids on the block to have a safe place to play. Eric and you were always welcoming. Mom and I send our prayers.

Eric was a wonderful man. He dealt with students, teachers, and parents with sincerity and care. He enjoyed his Ranger truck, his dog, and his Vesey’s Seed Catalog but his family was clearly where his love belonged. The mere mention of “Nina” always brought a smile. Rest In Peace Eric.

Sonya: So sorry for the loss of your dear father.
I'm retired 8 years now (Dr. Michael Gallivan) and I always appreciated how good you were, especially when my Mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and you were so helpful.
Mom (Alvira MacDonald-98) knew your Mom & Dad and she was so pleased to meet them both at Victoria Haven (Mom moved there in May this year).
Mom & Dad (Archie MacDonald) were close friends of Jim & Mina Swan as I know your parents were also.
Sonya treasure the wonderful memories of your Dad. You & your family are in my prayers during this difficult time.

We are so very sad to hear about Eric. Such a gentle man with a lovely smile.
He welcomed our family to visit his special place in Catalone..
Mom always told this story about Eric dropping something off at her house when Glenna and Joe were first dating. She had a toy fox terrier that ran out to greet Eric she thought, instead the dog bit a hole in the bottom of his pants leg!
Love to all The Nicholson family and a huge hug to Nina.
Take care of each other.
