Nick for me and I will speak for my parents, was a special light, for us over 50 years of getting to know him, spending very special family times together, whether it be just a family dinner in Freeport on a Tuesday night, or a huge family gathering at Christmas, these were always special times. Nick always made us feel more than who we were, his house was our house. Our families grew together and we watched a business bloom and grow, ups and downs and more.

  17. Dear Nick,

    Why did you have to leave us so soon? What are we suppose to do now? There were more presidential elections we could have bet on. I’m sorry you always lost. Who is going to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about? Did you leave that job to Doug?
    Who will tease me and bust my chops?
    You built a financial empire with Larry and a family empire with Jane.
    You were an extraordinary man with extraordinary accomplishments.
    You were a humble role model in every possible way.
    But, no one Nick, could ever take your place. No one, not ever!
    Thank you for wearing the bow tie you hated for the SSPJ gala.
    Thank you for driving me to Sloan and for letting my family park at one of your construction sites. Thanks for taking Angie to dinner.
    There’s a million things to say thank you for. The cherished ones are the fun & funny ones. Those memories will be cherished forever.
    You fought a great fight Nick but God needed you in Heaven. We had to let you go.
    Jane said when you got to heaven you probably told God “These gates are in lousy condition! Where’s the tool box? “
    There are no words left other than…
    Through the Years you never let us down. 🎹
    Thanks for 🎤the memories!
    Rest In Peace Nick in God’s magnificent home that HE built for YOU!
    Love you dearly and forever.

  18. Heartfelt sorrow I will never forget my nephew, Nick. May he Rest In Peace. Thoughts and prayers to Jane and the rest of his fabulous family. You all gave him the utmost care. God Bless You. Love, Uncle Pete

  19. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Mike and the entire Gargiulo family on the passing of Nick the patriarch of the Gargiulo family. I am always amazed by his skilled workmanship and ideas, may his soul RIP. Stay strong and love always.

  20. candleNick,
    This is hard…your leaving us has left a gaping hole in our hearts and in our family. I am so sad this past year confined us all away from you in your last days.. in our family there were a few men know who lived life ‘their way’… or lets say on their terms….
    And they were very dear to my heart and at their core good people… however they managed…. But Nick? Nick I think most would agree did the same. Nick…he lived life his way… he certainly did…and he also managed. He managed to be kind, he managed to be successful, humble, generous and welcoming to again, and I think all would agree… to everyone. To his family, friends, the painter, the friend of a friend and even the person who broke into his house last winter and used it as a club house…his home was always open, to everyone, whenever, where ever and however.
    I only know a part of Nick, the family part. And though I wasn’t able to see him over the last few months, I hope, I pray, he knows how I appreciate all he and Jane have done for me and especially my parents – growing up in our teens… Liz and I were in and out of their home pretty much every day. I could name 2 marriages and 4 pretty great young adults that would not exist if it weren’t for Jane & Nick… so what I want to really say is… Thank you, for the fun, the laughter, all you’ve done for me personally , my family and my parents… I am eternally grateful. I will miss you. Rest peacefully

  21. candleMr. Gargiulo,
    Forever to me. You ,truly have been a father to me. Thank you for all the memories you and your family have shared. Thank you for including me. Rest in peace. I will miss you more than you’ll ever know.

  22. Our heartfelt condolences to the Gargiulo family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

  23. candleOur deepest condolences to your family. Karen, your Father was a wonderful person with an incredible personality. It was always a joy to see him around all his grandkids and family. That was always his greatest treasure. He will be missed by everyone who knew him and our hearts go out to you, your mother, and the family.

  24. I am truly sorry for your loss. I would like to offer you and your family my deepest and most sincere condolences. May the soul of your father rest in peace.

  25. Dearest Michael & The entire Gargiulo Family, Please accept our Heartfelt sympathies and deepest Condolences on the passing of your beloved Father Nick-Take comfort & know that the Good Lord has embraced him into his Kingdom where there is no sadness and pain, and where he will continue to bask in his eternal light- Rest in Peace Nick
    Much love to all during this difficult time

  26. Nick will always be one our favorite people. He was such a bright, warm, gregarious man with a killer sense of humor and a distinct kindness about him. We will miss his sunny presence. Thinking of you all in this time of mourning, and hoping you are as well as you can be.

    From,
    Peter, Mary Elizabeth, Matthew, Nicholas, and Meredith

  28. candleDear Nick,

    Words cannot express how much we
    love and respect you! You welcomed
    Stacey into your home and family and in doing so joined our two families together. What a blessing for all
    us! Your faith, humor, generosity, and love of family and friends are just some of the gifts that you passed to
    your children and grandchildren. While the loss is tremendous the blessings
    are many.

    With love and great respect,

    Stephanie, Jon, Christian and Connor

  29. Nicky will always be remembered as a successful businessman, a loving husband and dedicated grandfather. He enjoyed life and always knew how to have a good time.

Love Sharon and Richie.
