NICHOLAS J. BARTILUCCI ’54, a dedicated engineering alumnus who served as a member of Manhattan College’s School of Engineering Board of Advisors and a generous supporter of the School of Engineering, died on July 17. He was 85. Former president and chairman of the board of Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers in Woodbury N.Y., Bartilucci also served for more than 40 years as commissioner of the Jericho Water District. He dedicated his career to caring for New York’s environment in a number of leadership roles in several key organizations, including the New York Water Environment Association (NYWEA). Bartilucci was one of the initial engineers on the incorporation of the New York Water Pollution Control Association (now NYWEA) when it was founded in 1976. He served for more than 30 years as the association’s treasurer and also dedicated time to both local and national environmental issues. A loyal alumnus, Bartilucci shared his expertise with Manhattan College as a member of the School of Engineering board of advisors, and donated generously to the school and its programs. He was honored by the College in 2010 with a new conference space in the School of Engineering, the Nicholas J. Bartilucci ’54 Conference Room. “Nick Bartilucci is a well-respected pioneer in the industry. He has been a great long-term friend to Manhattan College, specifically the School of Engineering,” said Dean Tim Ward, Ph.D., P.E., at the time of the dedication. “We saw an opportunity to honor Nick, and we knew it was the right thing to do.” “Nicholas Bartilucci was a loyal and faithful alumnus. He loved Manhattan and was proud of his Catholic Lasallian education,” says Moujalli Hourani, D.Sci., associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. “Nick was a founder and very active member of the advisory board of the Civil and Environmental Engineering department. He gave generously financially to support environmental engineering education. The conference room will keep his memory alive forever and after.” Bartilucci earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the College and a master’s in civil engineering from New York University. He served in the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps in the Panama Canal Zone. He gave generously of his time and talents to a number of organizations throughout his career, including serving as trustee of the Village of Laurel Hollow and vice president of the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum. Bartilucci was a board member of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Association and first vice president of the Center for the Developmentally Disabled. He also was active in his church in Syosset, Saint Edward the Confessor Church, and a member of the American Legion.
