I didn’t know Nicolino personally but judging from the members of his fine Family with whom I am acquainted, he must have been a very special person.
I am out of the country but send my condolences.
I am sure Nicolino will live on through the wonderful memories you have of him.

My sincere condolences to the family. I have great memories of Nick when I was a young boy. I especially remember fishing for smelts on lake simcoe while at his cottage. And I cant forget how courages he was trying to ride Nando’s little Honda motor cycle. He fell off and laughed. A great man.
Rest in piece.
Maurizio Bove.
