I do not know the cause of death, but I am stunned as he was posting up a storm on social media in the days before he passed. Nils was truly one of the "good guys" in the trademark bar. He was the long-time Trademark VP at Warner Bros. When he retired, he and his wife moved to her native Brazil and that is where he passed. He was a very well-read guy with a creative mind, Hollywood good looks, and a million dollar smile. A real gentleman. Some of the younger folks in this group may not remember him, but those of us who are in our 60's will remember him fondly.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Paul</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Paul Reidl</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Of Counsel</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Dickenson, Peatman & Fogarty</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">1500 First Street</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Napa, CA 94559</span></p></div></div></body></html>
