Nicholas Tilli age 96 of Wayne died Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at the Care One Health Care Center in Wayne. His passing was tranquil and peaceful after receiving the continuous loving care of his family.
He was born in Paterson and lived in Elmwood Park and Saddle Brook before moving to Wayne four years ago.
Nick received his formal education at Paterson Central High School graduating with the Class of 1930.
He is an Army Private and a Veteran of World War II.
Nicholas was a parishioner for many years at Saint Joseph’s RC Church in Paterson and while living in Wayne at Our Lady of The Valley RC Church.
He was a Technician at the Passaic Valley Sewerage Authority facility in Newark for over thirty-two years before his retirement in 1976. He was dedicated to his work and enjoyed going to work every day.
Nicholas was gifted with a quiet personality nature that got along well with others. He had a very wonderful memory and was extremely generous always wanting to help those in need.
He enjoyed baseball and as a young man he played for the American Legion Base Ball league in Paterson. Nick was also the number one fan of the New York Yankees baseball team.
Perhaps the most important highlight of his life was the arrival of grandchildren whom he loved with all of his heart. His son also recalls wonderful memories of a father who went out of his way to take him to Major League baseball games. He was a dedicated family man who always put the needs of the family first ahead of his own.
In his youth he met a girl named Adeline and they soon fell in love and married and had fifty-five years of “loving marriage” together until Adeline’s passing in 2001.
Surviving are one son Nicholas J. Tilli and his wife Michele of Wayne; one daughter Pat Byle of Fair Lawn six grandchildren Patty Wehner and her husband George, Lynn Lewis, John Byle, Robert Baranowski and his wife Alyson, Carrie Ann Gregory and her husband Kenneth, Danielle Miller and her husband Tom; great grandchildren tyler and Travis Wehner, Anastasia,Khaia and Stephen Baranowski and Emilee Gregory.
He was predeceased by his brother Joseph Tilli and his sister Concetta O’Donnell.
