Nicholas Costa

Nicholas E. Costa, 36, left us on July 7, 2010 after a long battle with cancer. Nick passed away peacefully with his family and friends at his bedside. He was a graduate of Oakcrest High School and a longtime resident of the Mays Landing/EHT area. He enjoyed riding his Harley, cooking, and hunting; but most of all fishing and spending time with his friends and family. Once Nick looked at you, you were his friend forever. Nick was predeceased by his grandparents John & Jean Sarao, and Joseph Costa. He is survived by his mother Esther Costa; sister Carol (Donnie) Cione, brother Anthony (Mary) Costa; niece Amanda Costa, grandmom June Costa, aunt Kathy (Dave) Gulig, uncle Leo (Tracy) Sarao, uncle Tony (Deanna) Sarao, cousins: David, Mike, Christina, and Tony. Nick was also loved by many, many very special friends, and he loved you all dearly. Viewings will be held on Monday evening 6-8 PM and Tuesday morning 10-11 AM, at the Boakes Funeral Home, 6050 Main St., Mays Landing, where services will be held at 11 AM Tuesday. Burial will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Hammonton. In lieu of flowers, donations can please be made to Leo Sarao, 3592 North Delsea Drive, #8, Vineland, NJ 08360.
