Nick Dioguardi Obituary

Nick Dioguardi, a longtime Glendale resident, passed away on May 11, 2015 in his hometown of Alia, Italy. Nick was born on October 12, 1932 to Vincent and Rose Dioguardi in Alia, Italy. He immigrated to the United States with his parents and two brothers, Adolfo and Dino, in 1949 and settled in Los Angeles before moving to Glendale in 1953.

Nick, together with his two brothers, owned Dio Brothers Automotive, located in Glendale, and also had a successful auto racing career spanning more than 20 years. His passion for racing, however, continued throughout his storied life.

Nick will be forever remembered by family and friends for his love of racing and cars, and spirit of life. He is survived by his two daughters, Gina and Marcella, and four grandchildren.
