RIP Nick Henin

Last week I lost a friend of mine.  Nick Henin was a great person and has a lot of people around him who love and support him.  Unfortunately, Nick struggled with addiction.  It's painful to see someone go that way, especially when it's such a nice guy.  Nick and I graduated high school together, but we actually didn't become friends until after high school.  He and my best friend Chelsea worked at the same Starbucks together where I would frequently visit when I was home on breaks.  The Starbucks gang would hang out outside of work and they were nice enough to include me in their group.  We had a lot of great times together.  Nick used to throw great parties in his beautiful house off South mountain rd. in New City, NY.  When I would walk in he would immediately offer me something to drink, showing that he was a great host.  It was always a great time when I would hang out with Nick and other friends.  We will all certainly miss it.  Nick moved out to California this past August.  I haven't seen him since then, but the last time I did we talked about doing a Palisades mall crawl where we would hit up every bar in the mall.  It sounded like an awesome idea and I still want to do it.  I spoke to my friend Chelsea about it and she thought it would be great to organize one in his memory.  I think it would be fun and we could reminisce on the good times.  He had a lot of friends and we are all still very devastated.  His best friend Doug said in his facebook group  that he would want his life to be celebrated.  That's a lot more uplifting and something myself and Nick's other friends can do.  RIP Nick Henin.
