NICHOLAS KRENITSKY Obituary

KRENITSKY--Nicholas, passed away on April 6, 2022, at the age of 80. Born in Naugatuck, CT in 1942, to Estelle (Otrimski) and Nicholas Krenitsky, he was a longtime resident of Manhattan. He is survived by his loving spouse, Roberto Fuenmayor, his sister, Sharon Devine, his brother, Paul Krenitsky, his nieces, nephews and cousins, and a close-knit group of lifelong friends. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Nick enjoyed a successful career that included design and art direction positions at McGraw-Hill and HarperCollins Children's Books. He will long be remembered as an amazingly talented, incredibly funny, and always supportive friend. A memorial service will be planned for later this year.

Nick and I were dear friends all through High School and college. He was so talented and always so supportive. When my then boyfriend ( now husband) Bunky used to come to Providence he always stayed with Nick and his friends at his apartment. I have to smile at the image of Bunky in his USMMA uniform and Nick in his artsy attire together on Benefit street. Nick always lent talented advice to aspiring art majors like my son, too. From HS basketball games to museums I have wonderful memories of Nick! So very sorry for Roberto and his other family and friends.

I first met Nick in September 1960 while waiting in line to to register for our first year at RISD. He was warm, funny and friendly, and I liked him instantly!
Memories of Nick will always be a blessing to me and to all those who loved him. My heartfelt sympathy to Roberto.
