Eulogy of Michael F. Nicolosi by Son Michael Nicolosi
My Father came from a family of Italian entrepreneurs, always in business for themselves. At 12 years old he use to sell produce from the family farm on Rt. 45 in south Woodbury where his father and his fathers? brother, my great uncle Angelo, built one of the first strip stores in the area. When he got a little older he started helping his father in construction but found that he liked selling produce better than mixing cement and laying bricks and blocks.
He met my mother in high school and she tells me that she was in so much pain from her back at the time that sitting in class was brutal. She happened to be a strait A student even though they use to cut class together. She said Dad use take care of her and comfort her. He was in love with her at such a young age. She was his first and only true love.
At 19 I was born & Dad decided he needed a job with benefits to make sure we were taken care of. At 20 my sister was born and at 21 Dad had bought his first home and taken on a second job to take care of his family.
Dad and mom remained married for 3 years until differences forced them apart but we all remained a very close knit family. Dad and Mom were able to work things out without having the court systems tell them how to raise their kids. My sister and I saw Dad every Sunday at minimum and always looked forward to it. He would pick us up at the house but not leave before having a cup of coffee and a chat with my mother. He even befriended her new husband Tom who comes from if not the most, one of the most loving families I have ever met. Dad never got re-married. He did have a few extended relationships but always put his immediate family first.
My sister and I have so many fond memories of our times with our Dad that I could go on and on but the best times were spending time with his parents, brothers and sisters, going to the shore every summer, hunting every fall, going to Storybook Land, fishing, crabbing, playing miniature golf and riding our go-carts on the farm.
Dad had promised me one day that if I graduated High School that he would take me and my sister to Hawaii to meet his aunts and uncles and cousins and we had such a great time there. I had my first beer in a bar at my cousins place the Harbor Pub in Waikiki Beach when the legal drinking age there was 18, I made it by 1 day. I?ll never forget the sign at the bar; it read ? If you were born before July 2nd 1968 you are grand fathered to be of legal drinking age.? My birthday is July 1st.
I can also say that I never saw my dad drunk and only saw him buzzed once when my mom and I saw his truck at the Telford Inn one day When I was doing a fund raiser selling hoagies for my baseball team.
Once my sister and I were adults and Dad instilled in us that he did not believe in hate, and that it was the worst word in the dictionary, he retired from acme and went back to selling produce on Rt. 45 in south Woodbury, at the stores his father and his fathers? brother built. He also sold his home and bought an investment property in Wildwood. Things didn?t really work out for him the way he wanted them to and after only a few years of being retired he had a new calling. His mother became very ill. He moved in with her as she had been raising her youngest son John by herself, who was just about to enter college. He and his surviving brothers and sisters all shared the best way they could individually, in helping him take care of her. Their dad also died at 57.
When she passed away he knew his second calling was to continue helping family as a caregiver. His aunt, my godmother, was in her late 70?s and had a very ill husband, so he moved in around the corner from her to be there if she needed him. He became their main caregiver. Her husband died years ago and she is now 83.
I want everyone to know that of course my Dad was human, like all of us and he had weaknesses too. He may have strolled down the wrong path a couple times, but was always strong enough to get back on the right

Mike,
Everything I have to say, I already said to you in person. I've been wher you are now and believe that, though I never met your Dad, I know you well enough to know that we share the same sense of loss. To avoid becoming morbid, I'll just add that I am glad to have become your friend and hope it remains that way for a long, long time

John's Brother Michael was always fun to see when I was hanging with John when we were younger. I thought John was lucky to have older brothers that wanted to spend time with him. I still remember building the fort in the woods behind John's house bet it's still therewith Michael.

I was deeply saddened to read about the passing of Mike Nicolosi. I knew Mike about 30-35 years ago. He was always kind. I remember our conversations and his positive spirit. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Dad enjoyed nothing more than to make people laugh and lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His neighbors adored him and I am so proud to be his son. He truly is my best friend.

Mike was a brother-in-law that could always make me laugh and always bring a smile to my face no matter what kind of mood I was in. Living with my husband and Mike was alway adventure. With my husband and Mike going to the casinos playing blackjack as a team, ordering large meals we could not finish and driving home in the early morning fog. Driving through Money Island looking for a place to go crabbing instead we all got good laughs at some of the houses that were still standing, many evenings visiting the Bayshore in Gloucester for Mussells. Mike has left me with so many stories, advice that I will never forget. I could not ask for a better brother-in-law then Mike with his unique personality and sense of humor. I will miss Mike dearly and he will always be in my heart.

Having fun hunting and living with him, especially when I was in my 20's. Having day trips with my brother & wife down the casinos, playing as a team and winning lots of money at blackjack table and eating like we never ate before running the comp card in the hundreds.
Mike was always there for me anytime I asked, never late no matter how he felt or what he was doing. He always came with a smile and a cup of coffee and never expecting anything in return. I will alway remember all that my brother has done for me and will never forget him. Not only was he my brother,he was also a very good friend and I will always love him and never forget him.

Grandpa was the best man i knew. He was always there for me and helped me whenever i needed him. He taught me a lot and gave me a lot of great advice. He also got me anything i ever wanted. I loved to listen to his different story's that he told me like about his childhood and all his different experiences and about my mom and uncle's childhood and experiences. He was just a great man. I'm gonna miss him so much not being able to give him a call or visit him at his house. I had some of my greatest times with him and i'll always remember the memories that i had with him. i love my grandpa so much and i always will.
