A pillar of my local community has passed away. Gene Nigro went peacefully in his sleep this evening. Gene’s experience and knowledge will be sorely missed but he is in a better place now.
We will have a wake at the community center in the near future and I will post the details once they are finalized. Many people did not know that Gene once studied to become a priest or that he served three combat tours in Vietnam. He spent the past seven years living in the cabin at the community center keeping everyone in line.
Lord, please have mercy on his soul and welcome him into your arms.
David DeGerolamo
A rare person it seems. God rest his soul.
DD, condolences!
I didn’t know him, but that’s okay I would consider him a brother in Christ. I pray his spirit is in heaven with the Lord. You have my sincere sympathies, Dave.
Only the Lord knows why He called him home, but it might be –
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth
it to heart: and merciful men are taken away,
none considering that the righteous is taken
away from the evil to come.
Isaiah 57:1
Agreed.
So sorry for your loss.
condolences to you, family and community that this man touched
I believe God Almighty could not stand to be away from him any longer.
