Sadden to read of my cousin Nito ‘s death but grateful to know he was surrounded by a loving family. We grew up in the same home at 96 Porter St for the first 5 years of my life Nito even then showed his loving nature and inquisitive mind. I send my deepest condolences and prayers that God may continue o bless his family

To Mrs. Boiardi & John & Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I worked with Nito for many years at Kenyon. He was a mentor and true friend to me. I loved his stories!(Checkerboard icecream) He was intelligent,humble and probably the nicest person I've ever worked with.

It was a great privilege to have Nito as our neighbor for nearly 40 years. He was a true gentleman with a smile and kind word for all who passed by - he was guided by his great love of Family, God and Country, he is simply irreplaceable and the view from my picture window will never be the same.
Godspeed Nito - we know God has welcomed you with open arms after a job well done....Love, Paul and Linda
