Thank you David. We lost a great one.
RIP Nick...Met him at many Symposiums. Always smiling and what an amazing artist! You will be missed.....
I met him at Turn On Chigago last year. He was an amazing demonstrator and really knew color and texture, with some great one-liners mixed in.
Met him several years ago at Turnfest, amicable and very friendly, an all round nice guy. He will be missed greatly. RIP Nick.

So sad. A talented artist, a personable and funny guy. I attended what I believe was his first demo in the US many years ago. It was in the garage shop of our club president at the time. And probably another 5-6 demos at club meetings and Zoom meetings in NJ and PA over the years. I even have one of his demo pieces from 2018 !!!

Super nice guy and a great inspiration. I learned a lot from him and not just technique. His method if teaching and demoing is a lesson in itself. He will be greatly missed.

Was sitting at breakfast alone at the TAW 2 years ago. Nick walks up and asked if he could sit down. Had a great 30 min conversation with him. Super guy, I really hated to hear this. God bless Mr Agar.
