It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Nick. He was was a remarkable man, celebrated for his distinguished career as a Barber Stylist, where he touched the lives of many with his skillful hands and kind heart.

Nick was the cherished husband of Joyce, his beautiful wife of 50 years and the pillar of a large and loving family.

His legacy lives on through his Children: Tab, Kim and her husband Riley, Tim and his wife Teresa, Tom and his wife Mary, Todd and his wife Michelle, James, and Jennifer and her husband John.

His Great-grandchildren: Nicky, Maddie, Lamar, Gianna, Mickey, and Catalina.

Nick served honorably in the U.S. Navy from September 1953-October 1956 and lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with love, laughter, and an insatiable curiosity. He had a passion for travel, exploring the world and enriching his life with new experiences. A connoisseur of good food and good company, Nick cherished the simple joys and shared them generously with those around him. His presence in our life was a gift, and his memory will forever be etched in our hearts. Nick leaves behind a grand legacy in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, each a testament to the love and values that he instilled in them. Nick will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory continue to inspire us to live with love, kindness, and joy.

For over 40 years Nick was my barber. How incomplete that sounds! Nick was my friend and will always be a part of me. He likewise made a lasting impact on my son Daniel and grandson Caleb. Our relationship grew over the years and after the Pandemic led to the WH closure, I was lucky to be among the few to continue with Nick at his home. That led to boat rides and monthly lunches at Boccacios and Brent´s. I will never forget the stories and the memories; of a Buffalo childhood, Glendale and working with Dad on Brand Blvd, the Navy, the 10 min haircuts, the legendary Sportsman´s Lodge, Esquire, and so much more, printable and otherwise! Thank you Nick, for the friendship and for teaching me about living life well, always with family at the center!

I´ll always remember visiting Grandpa´s house during summer break for weeks at a time. I remember going to his barbershop and sweeping the floors for extra cash. The different bakeries and delis we went to try something yummy and new. I give him ALL the credit for making me a choco-holic and huge sweet tooth. I´ll always remember the smell of his house and his cologne that always made me feel warm inside. I will forever miss the conversations that would last all night. As a child I would drift off to sleep, nestled against his big belly. I´ll forever remember his trademark sayings "oh boy" and "oh brother". I will cherish every memory I have of Grandpa forever. I´m so lucky to have had a grandpa like my Grandpa!! I´m so glad he watched me grow into the woman I am today and meet his great grandkids. He will be forever loved and missed.
