Dear Mrs Nizetich, Josette, Antoinette, and Tom,
Before I retired from the Port of Los Angeles, I used to work with your husband/father, Anthony, in matters relating to the local fishermen. Mr. Nizetich was a wonderful gentleman. Sometimes I would go to lunch with him , his beautiful daughter, Lucille, and my supervisor, Angie Birkenbach. It was always a delight being with the three of them. Lucille is greatly missed and I have kept her in my prayers and thoughts. Anthony, too, will be in my prayers. May God grant him eternal rest along with his precious daughter.
Sincerely,
Cathy Lozano

Dear Josephine, Josetta and all the Nizetich families...
Word has reached me here on the farm in Gettysburg that my dear friend and tuna industry companion has passed away. We go back to 1972 and TRF. We had such great times and much laughter. I have long missed all my old companions from Terminal Island and San Pedro.
May you all find much peace and ease of well-being as we all pass through aging and old age. May you all be blessed with the joy of a long and happy life, as did Anthony.
with my deepest sympathy, I remain

Nizetich's was our family's favorite place in the 1980's until it closed in the '90's. I went there frequently, with my parents, extended family and friends, on some dates, some receptions for weddings and funerals, and New YearsEve. celebrations! My parents went every week to listen to Frank Ezses play piano, and chat with his gorgeous wife, Ann.
My condolences to the family for their loss. He was a talented man. It was interesting reading about his life.

It will be difficult to accept the fact that Anthony will not be around. I have known him for 43 years and until not too long ago, every time I saw him, he used to grab my arm and tell me about his latest "projects" and share his brilliant ideas. He was a natural "deal maker". Since his old days at Star Kist, Anthony has been a great motivator for many, and his always positive attitude and his perennially cheerful and smiling face has been an inspiration for everybody who was lucky enough to know him personally.
I will miss you Anthony! You were one of the last living pioneers of the San Pedro community, and you will be fondly remembered for a very long time with love. May God bless your soul and may you rest in peace among the heaven's angels.
My sincere condolences to the family.

What a beautiful tribute to a man and his family. When anyone speaks of the heart of San Pedro, now I know how important the names Nizetich & Thomas are to the history of this city. My parents loved your restaurant and would ask about it often. What a legacy this man left for his wonderful family. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of the Mr. Anthony Nizetich. May he rest in the hands of God.

To Josephine and the Nizetich family but mostly Josephine. To be married for 68 years is a minor miracle. I was in awe of Anthony so strong and vibrant, running around like he was 40. He was my hero, I thought he would live forever, Well not forever but at least 100. You and Anthony were a big part of the community and were seen at every local event that occurred. It is tough to lose a life long partner, you wish you can both just float away to heaven together. Stay strong Josephine, my prayers are with you.
Love Andre Nizetich
