Nicholas Gravina

I was so sorry to read about Nick's passing. Nick and I grew up together in New York and were best friends. I'm sorry we drifted apart and never kept in touch. My sincere condolences to Rita and family.

so sorry to hear about cousin nickys passing. he brought so much laughter to the family. he used to always rip my buttons off my shirts at a family function as it became a sort of tradition every time i saw him...i enjoyed his stories of his father and all the colellos ..... rest easy nick and god bless...

So sad to hear of the passing of my dear cousin Nicky. He was always bringing laughter to our family. He was so loved by his family. I myself have wonderful family memories. Rest in Peace.

My sincerest condolences and deepest sympathy to Rita and family for the loss you have suffered. Nick was one of a kind bigger than life. He cared deeply and shared generously. He was a friend to many and a sporting cheerleader. Our local bowling lost a genuine friend. And he did love debating politics and the state of theNY Knicks BB team. A few more debates and he could have changed Knick history. He will be greatly missed. Joanne leone

Nick was one of a kind person. Bowling with him & Rita was most enjoyable. I cried when I read his obituary as I was very fond of him. I pray Rita will stay well. He will be missed by many.

Dear Rita, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Nick. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Nick was a great person and we all can reflect on the good times we shared at the bowling alley. God bless you and your family. Carol DeMascio

I am so, so sad to hear of Nick’s passing. I met Nick at IBM, my first job. We were in the same department. He was such a wonderful man! I remember so fondly his excitement talking about his baby, Phyllis. Nick was always smiling, always there with a helping hand. I’m so sad we didn’t know we were living in the same area. My condolences to the family. May Nick Rest In Peace.

Over the 10 years I have known this man I can honestly say I enjoyed our conversations very much. It didn't matter what the topic was, although it would always wind up talking about sports especially the Yankees. He always had a story to tell about his past and how it related to things today. He was a sincere man who loved his family very much. What I will most remember about him was how his face would light up when speaking about his grandchildren. I wonder if God could stump him with a baseball question. He will be missed.

While I never met Dad, I felt I knew him through the years of stories my dear friend Rita told of him. He seemed like a 'bigger than life' presence who always kept his wife and family at the forefront of everything. I know how much he will be missed, but hope the memories of his vibrant life will comfort them as they struggle to live in a world without him. My sincere condolences to Rita, Johnny, Kyle and the rest of the Gravina family.

I am so sad to hear of Nick's passing and even sadder that I didn't know that Nick and his wife were living in Wilmington, NC, where my wife Sue and I have been living for the past 23 years. I had the pleasure of working with Nick for a number of years, in White Plains and on the road at many IBM events. He was smart, generous and so much fun. I especially remember leaving work and going with Nick to see his son, Andy, play baseball at Mahopac HS. I believe my wife, Sue, at some point worked with one of Nick's daughters in Armonk and the nickname "meatball" comes to mind. May Nick rest in peace ... a wonderful man.
