Auntie Dolores, Cousins Jodi, Carla, Nick
For as far back as my memory allows me, I can recall anxiously awaiting a visit from your family and my beloved uncle Nick. I would take the proverbial stroll a day before across Addison Street with Nonni to Cavallo’s Market to get, in her words, “all the things they could not get in Florida”! (God forbid - Don’t forget the Milite’s bread!) We would amble down to Geddes Terrace to a corner store to buy dough for her to make pizza fritta on a Sunday morning. Often we would go a block or two further so she could lovingly point out your old house. I suspect, she quietly wished you were all still there, yet she was filled with so much pride in what he had become. I will never forget his tremendous generosity he showed my mother and me after my father left; how he always made sure to have time for me when he visited. (He nearly fell off the garage roof once fixing my basketball hoop, and I almost burnt out the clutch in one of his Z-cars!) I deeply treasure all the trips I made to Florida each summer growing up and hated leaving; I would fight back tears at the airport and was thankful that my mother and Nonni ended up crying instead of me! My mother and I laugh each time we think about him locking us in the car at Publix, speeding around the parking lot, trying to make us sick until she finally said she would go inside and buy him his jujubes! And Heaven forbid if you had to sit next to him at Mass! He was a truly remarkable man – a man that so many others can only dream of becoming. I can only pray I leave the same impression on my own children as he had done on me. I feel incredibly blessed to have had him as an uncle and as a father figure as well. An old friend once quipped to me, “Your grandmother picked the right name for him…Nicholas…like St. Nick…always cheerful and jolly…and even more giving.” I love you all so much…and keep you all in my thoughts and prayers always.

My deepest sympathies to you Dolores (and I hope I have the right Dolores)..I grew up with a Dolores on Hill St. in Waterbury. We lived on the 2nd floor on 41 Hill St. My name is Mafalda Mendillo (Colella). They called me Dolly and I remember your Mom, Dad and Brother Francis. When I read the obituatary in the paper, it brought back memories. Again my deepest sympathy to you and your family. My e-mail is Muffy2004 @sbcglobal.net if you care to e-mail me.

The years I worked with Nick in the South Central Marketing Office were the best(and most fun)of my Prudential career. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To the Jamele Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Big Nick, was taken too early. I can't put into words all the great memories I have of him and your wonderful family. I will always remember how he would say my name in his big booming voice when I walked thru the door over at Grandma Jamele's house and give me that big firm handshake and hug.
I was talking to my Mom about Big Nick and I guess I didn't realize how far back the Aurigemma-Jamele ties went back. I did not realize, or maybe I forgot, that my Dad's mom and GrandMa Jamele knew each other when my Dad lived in Waterbury in the late 1920's-early 1930's. My mom told me that after she and my dad moved to Waterbury in the 1955 that my grandmother and granddfather would always ask about Grandma Jamele.
Keep Big Nick's wonderful memories in your heart.
You are in my prayers and thoughts!
Love Tino

Read obituary this Sunday morning and remembered Nick and you Delores at Mass with fond memories of all the Prudential celebrations and trips. Nick was a real presence in life and no doubt will continue his influence with those grandkids. We have six ourselves. His life was a celebration.
