Nicholas "Nick" BIAMONTE

Passed away suddenly at his home on Monday, August 30, 2021, at the age of 65. Beloved husband of Nancy (Canal) Biamonte for 37 years. Dearly loved father of Carly Biamonte (Kevin Dion), Nicholas Biamonte (Holly D'Onofrio), and Jonathan Biamonte (Jessica Salfi). Cherished Papa of Ayla, Riley, and Van 'Chico'. Devoted son of Nick and Val Biamonte and son-in-law of Hubert (the late Bertilla) Van de Laar. Dear brother of Ralph (Susie) Biamonte and Tina (Eric) Weaver and brother-in-law of Angelo and Brenda Canal, Danny, and Nancy Canal. Uncle Nicky will be sadly missed by his nieces Julie, Kristin, Felicia and Samantha and his nephews Andrew, Richard, Ronnie, and Geoffrey. Lover of all things hockey, especially the Bruins, Nick captained the Jr. B Canucks in '74-'75, following that he traveled playing in Belgium, El Paso, and Red Deer before returning home to Sunday mornings and whacky Wednesdays. He worked with family for most of his life at Cataract Bowl, the lumber yard, and most recently at Mick and Angelo's where he was known at Nick 'the tender' aka Volkov. Nick was a past president the LBMAO and member of the Optimist Club. He will always be remembered for his infectious smile and contagious laughter when he cracked dad jokes, which he was the absolute king of. Whether it was relaxing afternoons in the backyard with his wife, chasing around his grandchildren, or serving you a drink at Mick's, Nick always took care of those around him. He was the life of the party, a gracious host, and enjoyed every day to the fullest, especially during Saturday night socials where you could hear Bruce Springsteen playing in the background and finishing the night with a bicchierini di brandy. Dad loved his family and coached many of his children's sports teams, teaching them how to catch, skate, and swing a bat. He also taught them how to fix things around the house, even if they were the ones who broke it. Nick was an inspiration for how to enjoy life to everyone who surrounded him and will be truly missed by so many. Respecting the restrictions of COVID-19, including the requirement for face coverings and maximum occupancy levels, friends are invited to join the family at the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St. Niagara Falls, visiting Sunday 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A private Funeral Service will take place, with cremation to follow and interment at a later date in Fairview Cemetery. In memory of Nick, donations to Hospice Niagara, to honour his late mother-in-law Bertilla would be appreciated by his family. Online condolences at pattersonfuneralhome.com
