Dear Al and Mike,



Please accept our deepest sympathay in the passing of your father. We always held him in the highest regard. You both can be very proud of him and his accomplishments. The creation of Nicolosi Catering at it's present location most certainly was one of the better additions to West Deptford Township.



Again our deepest sympathy and good luck as you continue with the business he founded and was so proud of.

Tom catered our wedding, November 18,1961. This was in the early days of his business working out of his house. He catered to 400 guests and everyone enjoyed the food. Our son had his reception at your Woodbury location in 1987. Mary came to our salon for many years, Damon's hair design. Thanks for the friendship and membership in the Woodbury Chamber of Commerce.

To the children of Tom, keep up the good work in the business.
