| Posted by: Louis DiSanto Sat August 23, 2014 | To my dear cousins: I cannot begin to express the sadness I feel over the unexpected loss of your brother and my cousin Father Nick. As a child growing up he was one of my heroes. Older cousin, handsome, and unbelievable athlete. After high school he seemed to disappear into the world of sports and then Hollywood. He became somewhat of a mystery man to most of us. In the early nineties he reappeared as a Priest and I and blessed to say that I had a special connection with him for the last twenty years. He was a real and dedicated priest and in so many ways helped me to reconfirm my faith and keep me closer to God. I am sure he is with his mother, father, and Heavenly Father now and I will miss him deeply. With love, cousin Lou |
| Posted by: Gail MacRae Sun August 24, 2014 | I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have memories of Nicky,one especially,I was in the Grover Manor Hosp.,then one evening I heard "flip flops" coming down the hall,and here comes Nicky strutting down the hall with a bouquet of flowers! He looked like Rock Hudson, coming from Revere Beach the Van Dyke area where they hung. He always kept an eye on Rita and I!!! Know that I am thinking of you all and may peace be with you all. Memories keep the spirit alive. Love you all, Gail |

I am so sorry for your loss . I feel fortunate to have been able to see cousin Nick several times in the last couple of years. The latest was in March at the nursing home when he anointed my father as he had done many times before. He was noticeably not well but that didn't stop him from his natural calling. Once a priest, always a priest. I hope you all find some peace and solace in knowing your mother was there to receive him |
| Posted by: Kim and Nicholas Galeota Tue August 26, 2014 | I am so very sorry for your loss. May God bless you at this time of sadness. May all the great memories you have together comfort you at this time of grief.
Love always, the Galeota family |
| Posted by: cousin Dave Caiazzo Mon September 01, 2014 | I want to express my sympathy to all my cousins Tilda Marie Lou and Rita for the loss of your brother Nick. I became very close with Nick over the years. We enjoyed some great times together in New York and around the Boston area. Some great stories I have of him. I remember my father Rocco trying to get Nick out of bed to give me and Steve some baseball tips around the time he was with the Red Sox organization. What an accomplishment to have signed back in the day with them. Better yet was when Nick called me a couple of years ago to throw batting practice to him because he still thought he could hit one out of Glendale Park. I threw to Nick for almost two hours. Even thought he did not hit it out, he thought it was due to bad baseballs and older bats not his age. We laughed. When visiting his family after his acting days on General Hospital, he called me to get a bite to eat. After picking him up he asked me if my Dad was home and I said yes. He said he wanted to visit him. They were both actors and my father congratulated him on the General Hospital scenes and Nick told my father he respected him so much. I was so proud to know Nick confided in me and me with him. What a great guy. You all have to feel so prouf to have had him as a brother. I will certainly miss him greatly. Dave Cai |
| Posted by: Richard West Thu September 04, 2014 | I am very sorry for your loss. I will miss Nick greatly and was looking forward for him to come over and visit me at my new condo. At least he is resting in peace not far from where I live. |
| Posted by: Alfred Farese Tue September 09, 2014 | After 60 years, our paths recently crossed again. Nick was the only kid who hit a homer off me when we played Little League and Pony League together. I always insisted it was a ground rule double. When we met again we had a great time remembering the good old days. After much pestering Nick finally agreed it might have been just a double,but I think he just said it to appease an old friend. Knowledge of his death came as a shock to me and my office staff. May God Bless his soul and may he rest in peace. |
