Nicholas R. Carbone

My dear, dedicated friend, RIP!

Nick, RIP. You were and will always be the best. Thanks for all your help to the Hartford Latino community. You were most instrumental in its growth! Again, Nick and family, THANK YOU!!!

Nick, was and will always be a great man. The Hartford Puertorican/Latino community will always be grateful and proud of him for his unselfish contributions to the positive growth of our community.

Nick and family, THANK YOU!

Nick was equal parts friend and mentor. He was always ready, willing and able to envision a new project, organization or legislative effort. His kindness was limitless. He always noted the potential in people-and he would challenge you to be more and do more. Thank you, kind sir. Peace be with you and your family for whom your love knows no bounds.

What an amazing and well lived life!! This was a wonderful tribute and I am sure he is proud!!! You have so many blessings and he will be with you always! xoxo
Love - Alana, Dina & Dominic DiMarco

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Carbone family. I'm sorry for your loss.

When I became editorial page editor, the Hartford Times bought me a University Club membership so I could pick the brains of the city's movers and shakers over lunches. There were a lot of them over the next few years, but none were nearly as valuable as what became a monthly visit with Nick Carbone.
A conversation early on set the tone for what I could expect. Bids on a planned park and recreation facility had come in substantially over budget, but in a very short time the specs were...

Dear Barbara and Matt,

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. I'll miss seeing Mr. Carbone around town and at First & Last. I will never forget how he made me feel like a part of your family while at your mom's funeral. He was an extraordinary gentleman.

Sincerely,
Amy Sailor
