Nick S. Sinardi

I still cherish the memories from The Downtown Y in the early days and then at University Olympic Gym across from Tampa U, and then your guest appearances at American Fitness in Tampa and Brandon. You became my friend and remained so since 1974. A truly brave and memorable man. I continue to boast about you and your lifting prowess. Strong in more ways than most. Rest easy my friend.

Sorry for your loss. I remember spotting Nick at Calta's gym in the old days when we were young.
All our love,
Rick & Kath Vigil

Thinking back to the old days in Tampa and the family gatherings on holidays, I will always remember Nick's cheerful greetings. It's clear that he used that cheer - and a lot of courage - and made a good life for himself, despite the obstacles that he faced. My thoughts and sympathy go out to Josie, Vincent, and the rest of Nick's family and friends.

This is very sad news and Clay and I are so sorry for the loss of such a very special person. He now can see all the glory and beauty of heaven. Rest in peace dear soul.

Nickie The Bull the true definition of a Champion. Will miss you !

Nick always said to me, "I love you cuz" He said it with such sincerity and Nick, "I love you cuz too"! This world will never be the same without you. What an inspiration you will always be to all of us!!! Even with a grave disability and so many illnesses you were never without a smile on your handsome face!! Nothing ever stopped you from achieving your goals! You will always remain in our hearts. I know you are seated up in heaven with your favorite gator fan, Uncle Joe, having a scotch!...

He was such a great person and an inspiration. I enjoyed my years powerlifting with him and the guidance and encouragement he gave to all who knew him.

Nick never let his blindness stand in the way of enjoying his life. I remember him walking with his dog all over Temple Terrace. He was also very funny. My condolences to his family.
