Nicholas Epifano Obituary
An avid Raiders fan (some may say the only Raiders fan), Nick loved to watch Sunday football and playing cards. He was one of the original members of the Ocean Twp. Italian American Club. With Kay and many other founding members, ran the sausage & peppers stand at the Italian Festival for many years.
He worked for Shoprite as a deli manager for many years, retiring in 2004. After retirement, Nick enjoyed most of his free time on the golf course. It was a good day if he was out on the course, no matter how bad or good he played. If he wasn't on the golf course, he was in his garden or at his grandchildren's events.
His grandchildren meant the world to him, and he took every opportunity he could to spend time with them. Poppy as he was known, was always checking in on them, his famous last words after every conversation "Give the kids a kiss for me". If he forgot to say it, he would call back.
Besides his wife Kay, Nick is predeceased by his father, William and mother, Lucy. An infamous girl dad, Nick is survived by his daughters Theresa and Sal Guazzo, Michelle and Bob Gidosh, Jeannette and Keith Macdonald, Patty and Rich Geiger, Nicole and Jay Armbrust, and Kelly and Ray Preston. Grandchildren Christina, Sal, Brian, Sean, Brittany, John Paul, Jaxon, Brandon, Kaylin, Chase and Kooper. His grandchildren leveled the playing field and gave him his boys. Nick is also survived by his brother-in-law, Clifford Letts and nephew Christopher Letts.
Visitation Friday, September 26th, 3:00 – 7:00 pm at the Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell Street, Long Branch, NJ. Funeral service will be Saturday, September 27th 10:00 am at the funeral home. Burial to follow in Woodbine Cemetery, Oceanport.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice. Nick was a big supporter of charities and would like it if you made a donation in his name.
