Summing up Nick’s life in a paragraph is not an easy task. He was accomplished at many things. Professionally, he worked in sales, owned and operated restaurants, and owned a landscaping company. His passions included storytelling, fishing, gardening and ballroom dancing, all of which he pursued with vigor. However, his most notable legacy is his family, for whom he was patriarch. Through the years, he has shared his love of life with each of them. Nick was the family’s guide. He was there if anyone scraped a knee or needed advice. He was a gifted storyteller and was always ready to impart wisdom through his anecdotes. He loved caring for those around him and most enjoyed sharing laughter. He will be missed as his legacy continues. The family would like to extend their gratitude to all Nick’s caregivers and to hospice for the kindness toward their father. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016 at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Salisbury. Interment followed at Wicomico Memorial Park.
