JS about NICK*READ*
Body: The son of Greendale Police Chief Robert Dams was killed in a motorcycle accident while coming home after classes from the downtown campus of Milwaukee Area Technical College.

Nicholas Dams, 20, died Tuesday at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa, where he was transported following the 3 p.m. collision near W. Highland Blvd. and N. 13th St. He was riding a 1997 Suzuki when a 1992 Toyota Corolla driven by Marvell L. Thomas, 18, of Milwaukee, pulled out in front of him, according to police and medical examiner reports. Thomas was cited for operating without a valid license.

There were 20 feet of skid marks left by Dams' motorcycle as he tried to stop, the report says He was not wearing a helmet.

Officials were still investigating whether speed was a factor, the report said. "There is no evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident," the report says.

Nick wanted to be a police officer like his father. He was taking classes at MATC - where he earned four A's and an A-minus on his last report card - with plans to transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for a four-year degree.

"He really admired my dad and respected my dad," said sister Katie Dams. "Since he was little, he was like his little shadow."

Robert Dams on Wednesday read over his son's 2003 Greenfield High School yearbook. In it, Nicholas Dams answered the question: Who do you look up to as your hero and why?

He wrote: "My father because no matter what challenge or problem comes he always has the answer and the courage to hit it head on."

But as his grief-stricken father faced the death of his only son, he said, "I can't do this."

"I loved him with my whole heart," Robert Dams said.

Nick worked at R & L Carriers in Milwaukee and the Steakout restaurant in Greendale.

Steakout owner Bob Lombardo said Nick had grown up during his last four years of working at the restaurant, going from a dishwasher and busboy to handling Saturday night rush as dining room host.

"He was a hard, hard worker," Lombardo said. "He was fabulous when it was busy. He could handle it. He didn't get fazed."

It was at the restaurant that he met his girlfriend, Janelle Porst, a nursing student at Marquette University, who also works at Steakout. She said Wednesday that he called her after classes every day, "and yesterday he didn't."

"He wasn't just my boyfriend. He was my best friend," she said.

The youngest of three children in the family, Nick had two sisters, Holly and Katie. He lived with his dad and their golden retriever, Trapper. He is also survived by his mother, Joani Dams Gember.

An uncle, Mike Dams, said Nick, who played high school football in Greenfield, was athletic and enjoyed playing with the family pet.

"He was a very good boy," Mike Dams said.

News of the Nick's death and the Dams family's loss spread throughout the Greendale community, where Robert Dams has served on the police department for 33 years, the last six years as chief.

"It's every parent's worst nightmare," Village Manager Joe Murray said.

(Nick will always be remembered)
