Paul Nicholas Obituary

03/15/1960 - 12/26/2023

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

He passed away after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a loving father and grandfather who would do anything for the ones he loved. He leaves to mourn his son Taylor and Christina Nicholas and grandson Liam Nicholas, his son, Paul A. Nicholas III and Danielle Nicholas and his grandsons Ford and Maverick Nicholas. His brother Tom Nicholas, his sister Louise Nicholas and his nephew Brennan Nicholas-Harris. He is predeceased by his brother Andrew "Drew" J. Nicholas II, his mother Mary Nicholas and his father Paul Nicholas Sr. There will be no services for him at this time but if you would like to do something please consider donating to the Patriots Foundation (https://offers.kraftse.com/offers/nepcf-donations) in his honor.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I worked with Nick at State House Security in Hartford in the 80's. He taught me the job, treated me with kindness and respect, and when he opened his restaurant on the second floor, we were all elated. He was a kind and gentle man who I had a great respect for. I was VERY sad to hear about his death. My condolences to his family.

Paul was the absolute best. His humor was unmatched. He was always someone you could count on. My favorite memory of him was at our wedding SO excited with cotton candy as big as his head on the dance floor. He will be so missed. Sending love and condolences to his family.

Sadden to hear of Paul's passing. Knew him when he was on the Vernon Police Explorers and for many years later. I was indebted to him for his help in obtaining a management job in Hartford. He was a hard worker and dedicated family man. May he Rest in Peace.

Paul always had a smile to give and a hug to offer. I´ll never forget those, his support, or his unwavering humor. May peace be found for all in the wake of his passing.

When my sister and I were little, and we´d go over to his house in Connecticut, I remember this one time he was reading a newspaper in his chair and my sister and I were trying to sneak around his chair to grab some gobstoppers out of this little container.

Paul Sr. (Big Paul) was one of the greatest people to walk this earth and I have had the pleasure of not only calling my best friends dad but a best friend himself. He was loved my so many people and will continue to carry on a wonderful legacy of being an amazing father and friend.
