Dominic Berlingeri, 58, Cleveland Cav's Fan

He was born August 23, 1958 in Fontainebleau, France. He was a lifelong resident of Lorain.

“Hey, let me know if you need anything else, please?” Those were his endearing words to his friends! Nick would give the shirt off his back for someone in need.

He loved his family and friends. Nick loved life and was a very warm caring man. Everyone who knew him loved him. He loved music and lip syncing to the kids while acting as a rock star.

Nick worked at Parties To Go and No Place Like Home. He graduated from Southview High School Class of 1977. He was a huge Cav’s fan and loved all sports, but basketball was his favorite. He was a popular basketball player at Oakwood Park and St. Stan’s Gym.

(Carmen) Berlingeri of Lorain; brothers Miguel A.
