| Glenn R. Nicola… November 28, 1972—October 23, 2001 |
Glenn Royce Nicola, SD’2000, was the victim of a tragic automobile
accident October 23, on Guam where he was working at the Seventh-day Adventist
Dental Clinic. Dr. Nicola was born November 28, 1972, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan,
where his parents were serving as missionaries. Dr. Nicola returned to
the United States at age 13 with his sister, followed two months later
by their parents.
While attending Mesa Grande Academy one of Dr. Nicola’s best friends was Lori Christensen. Some years later this friendship developed into love, resulting in their marriage on December 23, 1998.
After his sophomore year of college, Dr. Nicola spent a year as a missionary in Yap where he taught school. At an early age, he expressed his desire to follow his father, Quint Nicola, SD’69, and grandfather in dentistry. His sister, Caroline, was his first patient.
In dental school, Dr. Nicola took pride in developing review study aids
for his classmates and those to follow. Lori continued to be his loyal
supporter and soulmate. In August, 2000, the young couple accepted an
assignment to serve at Guam Seventh-day Adventist Clinic.
Dr. Nicola will be remembered by his friends and family members as a consistent
Christian, and an encouraging, steady, loyal friend.
