Nicholas Bommarito

Nicholas was born on October 21, 1930, in Detroit, MI, to his beloved parents, Guiseppe and Providenzia Bommarito. He was kind hearted and caring and seeing the need that the Great Depression forced upon his family, he left high school early to work and help financially at home. At 23 he was drafted into the United States Army where he served proudly defending his country during his enlistment. After his time in the military he began work as a high-low driver for trucking firms. He did this type of work until his retirement in 1994 when simple pleasures such as watching cowboy shows and movies, relishing the taste of pizza and pasta, garage sale shopping and puzzle solving began to fill his hours. Nicholas was a man of strong faith and had a profound relationship with Christ. His spirituality played a vital role in his life, guiding him through both joyous and challenging times. He found comfort and solice in his beliefs, and his faith was an inspiration to all who knew him. Sports brought Nicholas much joy, and he was an avid fan of the Tigers and Lions. Cheering on his favorite teams was a cherished pastime, and he loved sharing these moments with his family. Among all the seasons, Christmas held a special place in Nicholas's heart. He cherished the festivities, the warmth of family gatherings, and the spirit of giving during this magical time of year. Nicholas is survived by his devoted wife, Pearl, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and cherished memories. He will forever be remembered as a loving and caring father to his children: Pearl (Mark), Louise (Gary), Patricia (Thomas) and Joseph. He is predeceased by his daughter Katherine. Additionally, he leaves behind a beautiful legacy through his 13 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. A Funeral Mass to honor Nicholas's life will be held at St. Isidore Catholic Church on August 10, 2023. He will lie instate at 11:30am until the time of Mass at 12 (noon). The family will receive guests at the Wm.
