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>
