Nicholas Montecalvo Obituary
WORCESTER - Nicholas C. Montecalvo, 88, of Rutland, died peacefully Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Andrea and James Laviolette in Oakham.
His wife of 54 years, Shirley E. (Riley) Montecalvo died in 2009. In addition to his daughter Andrea and her husband James, he leaves two sons, Nicholas C. Montecalvo Jr. and John Montecalvo, both of Worcester; a daughter Gina M. Kerley and her husband John of Kingston, a brother Joseph Montecalvo of Whitinsville, a sister Priscilla Dileo of Millbury, nine grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. His brothers Michael and Anthony Montecalvo, and his sister Angelina Lopriore, predeceased him.

Nicholas was drafted out of Shrewsbury High School for the U.S. Army. He served in World War II in the Pacific Theater during the liberation of the Philippines.
After the war, Nicholas joined Montecalvo & Sons, an Italian specialty foods importing business in Shrewsbury, where he worked for many years. He then worked as a Police Officer for Worcester Polytechnic Institute, retiring in 1991.
He was a former member of St. Ann's Church and its Men's Club in Shrewsbury. He enjoyed bowling, warm weather and the ocean. He was devoted to his family and spent his remaining years in the company of his grandchildren.
