In Memorium: Tip Nichols

We have lost several community supporters this year whose collective memory could have easily written the history of the community all on their own. Mr. Tip Nichols, a community supporter and activist in the Nottingham community passed away quite suddenly on Saturday, April 2nd. Tip was the Director of the Nottingham Youth Center for some 35 years and a Past President of the Nottingham Civic Club, among other activities his family shared their beloved husband and father with.

Tip’s dedication to the community and the youth should be commended over and over.  He will be honored, now posthumously, as the 2011 “Senior of the Year” for the Department of Aging of the City of Cleveland. We send our condolences along to his wife, Charlotte, and his family. We are grateful for Tip’s support for CNHS in the Nottingham Community.

Please send your pictures or stories about Tip to the Collinwood Observer, so we can celebrate him and his amazing life in our next issue.
