Obituary for William "Bill" Robert Nicholas It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Bill Nicholas. Bill died on Sunday, April 29, 2012. Bill had a kind and gentle soul which we will truly miss. Bill was born on February 22, 1932 in Van Nuys, California and spent all his life in the Los Angeles area. When he graduated Fairfax High School, he began his 43 year career with Southern California Edison. It was at Edison where he met the love of his life, Martha Westmoreland. They were married in 1954 and were blessed with three sons, Bill Jr., John, and George. Bill and Martha moved out to Simi Valley in 1997 to be closer to their grandkids. Martha passed away in 2001.
