Nicholas Calvello

Nicholas Calvello, age 92, of Holbrook, NY, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2026. Born on November 27, 1933, in the Bronx, NY, Nicholas exemplified a life dedicated to education, family, and the outdoors. He was the first in his family to earn a college degree, achieving his Bachelor's Degree in his 50s. This accomplishment laid the foundation for a fulfilling career as a special education teacher at Boces in Suffolk County, where he inspired countless students.

Nicholas was not only a devoted educator but also a skilled handyman who could fix just about anything. He used these talents to build a cherished family cabin in Vermont, where memories of fishing, boating, and duck hunting were made. His artistic side shone through in his talent for photography and sculpting, allowing him to express his creativity and leave a lasting legacy in the hearts of those who knew him.

Nicholas is survived by his loving daughter, Jeannine (Paul) Reichert; his son, Nicholas A. Calvello; and his cherished grandchildren: Nicholas F. Calvello, Steven A. Calvello, Christina R. Melissides, and Marina J. Melissides, as well as step-grandsons Christopher M. Reichert and Jonathan A. Reichert. Nicholas is predeceased by his beloved wife of 49 years, Roseann and his siblings: Antonio Calvello, Rose Calvello, Leonard Calvello, Joseph Calvello, Margaret Martello, Angelina Clemente. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. 

In honoring Nicholas's memory, the family invites everyone to reflect on the joy and passion he brought into their lives and to cherish the time spent together in his loving presence.
