It’s been drawn to my attention that Nigel was an occasional punter at my Sunday afternoon gig at the Dan O’Connell Hotel in Carlton. My condolences to his family and friends.

I was lucky enough to work with Nigel a few years back. It was my first job out of university. Nigel was my team leader, but more importantly, my mentor. His technical knowledge was incredible, but is easy nature and laid back style, and his quirky sense of humour, made working with him a unique pleasure. I am deeply saddened by his untimely passing. Nigel will be missed greatly.

Pls excuse me as I am not an IT professional or in the industry, I knew Nigel personally, although lost touch with him over a year ago, he loved music,especially Irish,as well as Ballroom,New Vogue and Latin dancing which he had done at BJ’s Dance Centre where he was willing to help those that were beginners but his emphasis was always to have fun and enjoyed a pint of Guinness at the Dan O’Connell in Carlton,Victoria,Australia listening to an Irish singer Pat McKernan. It is a shock to hear this news, he was a kind and gentle soul always willing to help others with a smile on his face and a cheery attitude. Cheers mate

Nigel was a single man. His parents and sister will miss him enormously. It was his own choice not to continue.
It was a shock to many of us who had known him personally too.
