He started working as a child delivering newspapers and shining shoes in downtown Canton for many Greek families. Nick retired from Republic Steel-Berger Division as a supervisor/plant manager in which he received many awards and accolades because of his many cost-saving production ideas which saved the plant millions of dollars.

He was a very proud Army veteran of WW II serving as a Sergeant in the 13 ^th Armored Division. Nick is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 75 years Angeline (Kreareas), As high school seniors, Nick met Angeline at Timken High when they bumped heads together upon picking up her books she had dropped.
