Nicholson, David “Dave” Hunt

David "Dave" Hunt Nicholson, 76, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed away, Friday, August 19, 2016 at his home.

Dave was born May 14, 1940 in Richmond, Indiana to Hubert and Martha (Hunt) Nicholson. On August 15, 1970 he married Debra "Debbie" Janeanne Nicholson in Albuquerque.
