	Nick Auf der Maur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The youngest of four children of Swiss immigrants J. Severn and Theresa Auf der Maur, he was a regular at various downtown Montreal bars, and often transacted official and unofficial business there, entertaining visitors to the city, telling stories, and meeting with a wide range of Montrealers from all walks of life.
		Mordecai Richler claimed that Auf der Maur once went bar-hopping with Conrad Black and when they accidentally wandered into a gay bar and were asked to leave, Black indignantly insisted it was his democratic right to stay, so they did [1].
		A frequent subject was his daughter Melissa Auf der Maur, about whom he often wrote in his newspaper columns as she was growing up.

	Nick Auf der Maur dies - Wednesday 8 April 1998 - - Obituary
		Nick Auf der Maur, journalist, politician, raconteur and the man who for 30 years was the quintessence of Montreal died last night after a 16-month battle with cancer.
		The Nick Auf der Maur most people knew, was, despite all of the colour that dashed through his life, a creature of fl and white, a newspaper feature we never met except through a sheet of newsprint over breakfast.
		Nick grew up in the neighbourhood around St. Urbain St., and remembered a childhood that was spartan, if not poor, one where Santa once left a note in handwriting remarkably similar to his brother Frank's promising to deliver presents during his next visit during the Epiphany.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Leo Gervais' Memorial to Nick Auf der Maur, Montrealer
		Nick was a man who embraced life with every fiber of his being, and left all who dared embrace it with him cherishing the deep memory of a loving kiss.
		I had met Auf der Maur on a few occasions although it was usually a polite handshake after a quicker introduction: "Nick...Leo, Leo...Nick." We had a few friends in common so it wasn't unusual to see Nick at a party or, if you can believe it, a bar telling stories or arguing some political point.
		The moment was the thing with Nick, and judging by the reaction of the crowd to the wonderful eulogies of him, there were countless moments being remembered as we all said goodbye at St. Patrick's.

		Melissa Auf Der Maur's debut shows the polish of many years in other people's bands, but she's strong on her own two feet, in her own unique sound.
