Dear brother-in-law to Vincenzo and Rosa Severino. He will also be dearly missed by his many nieces and nephews. Our Dad was a true pillar of tradition and family. His children were his first priority and his grandchildren stole his heart. There was nothing he wouldn't do for them. He was a lover of life, family, friends and his wine, which he took pride in making and sharing every year, along with his many other traditions. Nicola was also a proud member of Liuna Local 837 for 50 years. A very special thank-you to Dr. Philip Staibano for his unwavering compassion and care.
