I need to compliment Nick Wingate. Nick called us at the shop this morning to appologize for not being able to judge our show because his father is very ill and in the hospital. I've been competing a while, this is way more than most judges would do. Thank you Nick for taking the time to contact us personally during a stressfull time for you and your family.

Nick, I'll praying for your family. If you need anything, there are many of that know you and if nothing else will keep you in thoughts and prayers.
Nick is an extremely great person and even though I've never judged with him, I'd bet my bottom dollar he is one of the top judges in the field.

Nick,

You know you are in my prayers Brother. Bravo Mr. Jones for bringing up the compassion that Nick has for this sport/hobby. It may be something out of the ordinary for a judge to do, but you my friend, it is out of the ordinary for a show promoter to recognize this and do it publically. My hat is off to you sir.

Nick, if there is anything I can do for you, pray, listen, whatever, you have my number, call me and I will do whatever I can for you. Blessings to you and your family and a touch from the Father on your father.

Greetings all!!

To those of you who have been praying and expressing your thougths about my Dad, let me say thank you very much!!!

My Dad is doing just fine and has recovered fully. He had Pneumonia and a collapsed lung that was mimicking a heart attack. Scary time for all of us in my family.

Those of you who know me know what my Dad and Mom mean to me. They are my best friends and mean everything to me. For the kind people of this forum to express there concerns and thoughts and prayers for him means more to me than I can put into words. All I can say is thank you!!!!!

Nick Wingate Jr.
