“Rode this afternoon with a heavy heart after learning that Nick Scull lost his battle with cancer this morning. Nick was our operations guy at Georgia Southern and was one of the nicest people you could ever work with. After the consolidation, he treated me like I had been working at GS for decades and always enjoyed talking sports with him before, during and after our numerous on-campus events.
