A talented actor, he dazzled audiences in a recent production of Twinderella. A brilliant student, he had already mastered math and science, and knew everything there was to know about dinosaurs since the age of three. Nikhil could be found spending the day reading, swimming, and listening to music, but he was most excited when allowed to indulge his sweet tooth with some chocolate ice cream or chocolate chip cookies. He touched the hearts of everyone he met with his infectious smile and enthusiasm, and always brought joy into the lives of his friends and family. Memorial services will be held at Thomas A.
