Although we only knew Nick a couple of years, it was always a real pleasure to be in his company at Marlinas. He had a way of making you feel warm and comfortable, like you knew him your whole life. The world is a lesser place with his departure. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Linda and children...

You've gone and we are left only with memories. Being the person that you were, makes it impossible to ever forget you. Your journey is complete. I'm deeply saddened that I cannot physically see or talk to you. Smile and be proud when you look down, and see how well you've prepared your family, to deal with all of life's challenges. Until I see you again, BIG GUY, RIP.....

DiBernardo Family, I'm stunned and broken-hearted. I will miss everything about Nicky. He was a friend, a familiy member and an amazing guy to hang about with and parade next to. He would do anything for anybody without needing to be asked or expecting anything in return and you don't see that often. I'm so sorry and I love all of you.

Nicky...I love you brother!!! I cannot tell you how much I'm going to miss you!!!

Christy always smiled with a twinkle in her eyes when she spoke of her mom and dad. Being a collouge of christys at kennedy stratford. I had the pleasure of being introduced to an easy going, comedian with a smile that you can never forget. When he came to visit he would always ask how our days, families and siggnificant others. Unfortunetly i moved to Japan two years ago and did not get to see christy or her dad and mom. Nic you were a dimonde in the rough. You will be so incredably missed by so many far and wide.

On behalf of my family and friends we offer our condolences .

Dear DiBernardo and Salerno Families,
I cannot express enough how sorry I am for this tremendous sudden loss. I wasnt around Nicky a lot over the years, but when I was he was always smiling and having a good time, whether it was on New Years Day, strutting on Broad Street, with Joey and my nephew Victor, or at the always fun Salerno family parties. Also, to Kathy and his children, my deepest condolences. I hope you hold and cherish all the loving beautiful memories Nicky left you in your heart.
God Bless and R.I.P. Nicky xoxo
