Not sure what to say?

I'm his grandoughter and I read this and learned more about him

It was about a million years ago, but i remember like it was yesterday, Nick was selling his covair funny car from his house . I just turned 16 and always dreamed of owning a f/c. He knew i was young and broke, but he rolled the car out of the garage anyway &spent time talking to me about the mechanics of the funny car ,as if i was someone who mattered . Kids dont forget people like that. Thanks Nick and Godspeed.

Nitro Nick had a tremendous life of "Living in the Fast Lane". He will be missed by all who knew him. My sincerest sympathy to the entire Boninfante Family.

Craig Talley and the Entire Mazak Family

Lots of good memories. Nick will be missed by many.

I knew "Mr.Bonifante" and his family ever since I was old enough to ride my bicycle around the block. When I finally made it around the corner I discovered the most unbelievable looking red white and blue race car parked in a stone lot at the bottom of the street. I thought it was Evil Knievil's car. I will never forget that! Nicky,Jodi and Rob, I know it is a very difficult time for your family right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss your Dad. Jeff Leonard

To the entire Boninfante family. So sorry for your loss. Nick was and will always be remembered as a legend in the funny car and drag racing industry. God bless.

My sincerest condolences to the Boninfante Family. May the God of all comfort (Psalms 83:18) help you during these difficult times.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father. May our loving God be with you and may His Word bring you and your family comfort. 1 Thessalonians 4:14
