Obituary for Bruce (Nick) Franklin Nicoll


Bruce (Nick) Franklin Nicoll
11/28/1950 – 7/2/2008


Bruce died of cancer July 2, 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born November 28, 1950 in Salt Lake to Frank A. and Janet C. Nicoll. He graduated from East High School in 1969, lettering in swimming, and attended Weber State College and the University of Utah. He loved his Scottish heritage and affiliated with the MacNicol clan.
His professional life was spent in the Boston area renovating and restoring New England homes. Most recently he worked for Bensley & Gaboury, LCC.
He and his partner Jean Fraser, owned Thistle Croft, breeding golden retrievers. He is preceded in death by his father Frank, and his beloved goldens, Luke, Buck, Dealer, and Micki.
He is survived by his partner Jean and her children, his mother, Janet, and his siblings Jeffrey (Joyce), Anne (Barbara Miller), and Clifford (Bertha), his nephews and nieces, Christopher (Judy), Jen, Andrew (Karyn), Betsy Bulkley (Jory), Adam. Six great-nieces and -nephews also will miss his smile.
The Nicoll family thanks Jeff MacLeod, the Gaboury family, Beth McKay, and David Fraser for the love and friendship they showed Nick during his life and to his family in his final months. He will live in the hearts of those left behind. A private service is planned.

Bruce has passed away

Bruce passed away about 11:40 AM on July 2, 2008. We were fortunate to have his nurse Kim and his Sister-In-Law Joyce by his side at his passing. He also had two very close friends from work, Beth Mckay and Seth Gaboury, in the next room. His passing was peaceful for which we are all very grateful. At his request, Bruce's remains will be cremated and his ashes will be buried with his Father and Mother (when she passes away). A grave-side memorial service will be held at a future date.
