Superintendent. He was a proud and dedicated member of the Operating Engineers Local 542, where he
made lifelong friends and received several awards for his loyal service.

Nick was hardworking, and a dedicated father who passed a strong work ethic on to his children. He
loved fishing with his son and son-in-law, cooking with and sitting on the beach with his daughters, and
creating a beautiful home for his wife and children. He loved to travel, especially to Italy, and had a
sense of adventure to try new things. He enjoyed gardening and pruning and was often recognized by
his neighbors for his impeccable care of his yard. His grandchildren were one of his greatest joys.
