Nicholas Idoni Obituary
Salisbury-Nicholas Joseph Idoni, Sr., 86, passed away on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 at Coastal Hospice at the Lake in Salisbury. Born on March 9, 1930 in Cumberland, MD, he was the son of the late Domenico Maria Idoni and Maria Angela Idoni and brother to Frank Leonard Idoni and Teresa Anna Sofia.
He was preceded in death by his brother Frank Idoni, his eldest son Nicholas Idoni, Jr., and two grandchildren, Tonia Lynn Idoni and Russell Elliott Overs.
He is survived by his younger sister Teresa, as well as his six sons and six daughters: Annie, Donna, Michael, Billy, Tommy, Gina, Mark, Darlene, Domenico, Shelly, Nickie, and Giovanni. Also surviving are an abundant number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
Summing up Nick's life in a paragraph is not an easy task. He was accomplished at many things. Professionally, he worked in sales, owned and operated restaurants, and owned a landscaping company. His passions included storytelling, fishing, gardening, and ballroom dancing, all of which he pursued with vigor.
However, his most notable legacy is his family, for whom he was patriarch. Through the years, he has shared his love of life with each of them. Nick was the family's guide. He was there if anyone scraped a knee or needed advice. He was a gifted storyteller and was always ready to impart wisdom through his anecdotes. He loved caring for those around him and most enjoyed sharing laughter. He will be missed as his legacy continues.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to all Nick's caregivers and to hospice for the kindness towards their father.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 11:00 AM at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Salisbury with a visitation one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at Wicomico Memorial Park.
Contributions may be made in his memory to Disabled American Veterans, c/o VFW Post 194, 821 E. William St., Salisbury, MD 21804.
Arrangements are in the care of Holloway Funeral Home, P.A., 501 Snow Hill Rd., Salisbury, MD 21804. Please visit www.hollowayfh.com to express condolences to the family.
