Nicholas J. Biamonte, age 70 of Wayne, died peacefully, after a brief illness, with loving family praying by his side on Monday evening, September 24, 2012.
Nick, as he liked to be called, was born in Jersey City and was raised in North Bergen. It was there that he met the love of his life Ruthann (nee Menzel). Ruthann said that when they met she was thirteen and he was twenty-one. Nick had the reputation of being “The Stud of North Bergen.” When she turned eighteen, she married that stud and they moved to Wayne where they’ve lived ever since. They enjoyed forty-four happy years of marriage, walking side-by-side through a wonderful life together!
Nick’s profession was plumbing but his passions included salt water fishing, hunting and race car driving. On many weekends Nick would sail out of Belmar, NJ on his beloved boat which he called “Lisa Two”. The number one Lisa in his life was his little daughter Lisa! He especially loved fishing for fluke and once even hooked a ten-pounder which was a fluke in more ways than one. They called flukes of that size “door mats” because they were big and flat. It made Nick feel big and proud! If he wasn’t fishing, he was hunting for turkey, dear or pheasant or drag racing 1955 and 56 Chevys in the quarter-mile modified production event at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ or Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ. Nick’s favorite car to race was his 69 Camaro which he called “Little Green Apple”.
Nick’s musical choice was country and his favorite song was Crazy by Patsy Cline. He was the consummate Italian who ironically hated Italian food. At birthday parties he could often be heard asking “when are we gonna have the cake”, not because he loved cake, but because he didn’t like birthday parties and he wanted to get going! Those who loved him knew Nick to be a stubborn, thick-headed man but a good man with a good heart. When his daughter Lisa was soon to get her driver’s license, Nick said “you need to know some things about cars before I’ll let you drive.” By the time he was done with her schooling, Lisa could pull an engine, rebuild and reinstall it. He loved his dog, a beagle that he called Missy. When Missy came along, Nick and Ruthann had to get a king-sized bed so that Ruthann could still sleep with them.
Surviving are Nick’s beloved wife Ruthann (nee Menzel) of Wayne, his dear daughter Lisa Biamonte of Wayne, his three much-loved grandchildren: PJ, Nikki and Eddie; his sister Anna Seper; many nieces and nephews, his son-in-law Steve Maldonado, and numerous wonderful friends including but not limited to Bill Leening and Jimmy Mara.
