Nicholas Leo, age 77, died Sunday evening, November 06.

Nick was born in Bloomfield, NJ on June 06, 1945 to Nicholas and Rose Leo. He was the third of four

children and graduated from Bloomfield High School in 1963. He went on to join the US Army National

Guard, serving for four years in the reserve. Prior to being activated for the Vietnam War, he married

Linda Jacobus, also from Bloomfield. Nick was stationed in Alabama, where their first child Jeffrey was

born. Upon leaving the Army, the family returned to Bloomfield, where their second son Kevin was born.

They resided in Bloomfield until they moved to Essex, Vermont in 1983, where Nick was a cabinet maker

until he opened Essex Real Estate Inspection Services. He and his wife Linda owned and operated For All

Occasions Flowers and Gifts in Williston until they retired. Most recently, he resided at Burlington Health

and Rehabilitation, where he battled dementia but succumbed to COVID.

Nick was blessed with four grandchildren: Nyssa Nguyen (husband Tuan), Gabrielle Fernandez, Carter

Leo and Calvin Leo, as well as many nieces and nephews. He is survived by his wife Linda, his son Kevin

and wife Andrea, his son Jeff and wife Julie, his grandchildren, his sister Rosemary Gatti, his sister

Virginia and husband Joseph Kraus, and his brother Theodore and wife Barbara.

A private memorial for Nick will be held at a later date. In lieu of donations in his memory, please ensure
