Remembering Nick Tochelli
« on: Oct 05, 2017, 10:34 pm »
I am unhappy to report the loss of one of our major contributors. Nick Tochelli, former NY SM and technician, has passed away of complications from a brain tumor at the age of 35. He leaves behind a wife and 2 kids.

His wife Anna has posted the following arrangements to his Facebook for any who wish to help the family.

In lieu of flowers, information will be provided for how to support our children's college fund.

I will keep an eye out and update with where to send donations.

To his wife Anna, and his family. I am so sorry for your loss.

To us here at SMNetwork, remember our colleague, Nick. Search his posts and look at them. Remember and use anything he suggested that might make sense to you. It's one small way to make sure his life mattered.

I'm really, really sorry to hear his. Nick was a valued contributor to this site with many, many thoughtful posts. He'll be missed and remembered.

Terribly sad news.  Please do post some additional information when you have it, especially with regard to the kids' college fund.  Even a small donation of $10 can grow into a substantive amount of money over 10-15 years.

So sorry to hear this — and so very young! He was such an asset to these boards. Damn.

Yes please, as KMC mentioned, please let us know if there is a way to support the family, and hopefully we can send a sympathy card from this site as well.

PSMKay — Thanks for letting us know
