My deepest sympathies for Niles family. I worked with Niles for many years at Bell Helicopter. He had a personality larger than life and was very good at his job.

Heaven is brighter since Niles crossed over to his eternal home. He was a great person and one of my best friends from high school days. To his daughters, you can be proud to have called him Dad.
