The entire Pearl family is deeply saddened by Nick’s passing. We’ve been fortunate to have Nick in our lives for over 25 years and his humour and grace will be forever remembered. Julie, and family, may your cherished memories of him help sustain you all during this most difficult time
Nick you were a prince of a man. I looked forward to seeing you every Saturday when you were working at Hillcrest Hardware and later at ball hockey and all those great fun days we spent together at Holy Rosary and Hillcrest school yards. I loved having lunch with you afterwards at the Wychwood Pub when we would reminisce about all those great days we spent together on Hocken with our friends and families. We will miss your friendship and the many laughs you gave us over the years. You will be sorely missed my friend.
WOW!
What a terrible blow to our family.
Nick loved his family and we all loved him back
I loved his personality and his abliity to make us all laugh at his comical stories.
Nick had the greatest parents, whom we all loved dearly.
May he rest in peace.
God bless Julie and the entire family.
Amen
Julie and family – On behalf of Pino and I we send our deepest heartfelt condolence’s to you all!
I can’t stop thinking how we first met back in 1988 we had moved to Bay Hill in late ’87 – Nick such a family man he also helped you with babysitting our kids great person, we lost touch 10years later but now and then we would bump into one another and quickly reminisce the old days. Nick you will be missed
Julie and family – Nick will always be watching over you all!

Dear Julie and Family sending our heartfelt condolence on the passing of our Dear Nick. May the memories you have help with the pain you feel. Nick, may you Rest in Peace.
I met Nick in the 1960s when we all lived on Hocken Avenue. As kids we would all play together. Nick was a few years older and I was fortunate enough to to watch him mature into a young man who became a beacon for my path in life. I still remember walking by his house on a hot summer night. He would be sitting on the porch with his mother and his younger brothers Naz and Claudio. He would shout “Hey Lorenz come and join us” Then the jokes would begin. Nick was a master at telling jokes and funny stories. Later on in life Nick became an athlete and took up ball hockey. During those Saturday afternoons my family also got to know him as a gentleman and as goaltender.There are so many other fond memories. His friendship will be missed but never forgotten. Rest In Peace my friend.
Our most sincerest condolences to the entire Selvaggi family during this difficult time. May Nick rest in peace

When I told Nathan of the sad news, he said, “Whoa … this is like family…” Saturday hockey won’t be the same without him.
Sympathetically & sincerely,
Gabe, Danielle, Nathan
Julie,
I just heard the terrible news. I am sad for you and your family. My Nick’s soul rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him. God bless and keep you safe
We are still in shock over the quick passing of our beloved brother in law Nick. He loved his family very very much, both close family and extended family. On family get togethers we loved listening to his exchange of jokes with his brother in laws.
He would take the time to help others even letting them stay at his home for a few days.
Yes Nick you will be missed. RIP Nick Selvaggi

I was so shocked when I heard the sad news. I will always remember Julie’s loving stories of Nick over the years. He was a wonderful husband and family man who loved to cook and be there for his children and grandchildren.
Nick will be forever missed, but let the memories and his legacy live on in you all!
Praying for you!

Our sincere condolences to our cousins, the Selvaggi Family.
When I was six, and my sister four, we were in awe with the birth of our first baby cousin, 68 years ago. I remember when my Aunt Soccorsa and Uncle Alfredo brought little “Nicky” home, we could not take our eyes off him, we stared at him all day long in his little crib.
Through the years, we spent good times together: At family gatherings, playing ball hockey, and driving to Florida. Imagine, Nick, Sue, Tina, myself, and our two little boys, driving 4 days, to and from, in April, in a 1969 Pontiac.
When we got together, Nick made us laugh, by telling jokes, and impersonating someone talking in our Italian Hometown dialect.
We will miss Nick very much; he is at peace with our Heavenly Father.
GOD BLESS
Dear Julie and family
I was very saddened to hear of Nick’s passing. My heart feels for you all.
Immediately memories came flooding. Nick,Tony and John riffling off jokes. Nick calling our house and using accents, saying he was real estate agent!!! Seeing him at Concord looking for just the right ingredients for dinner.
I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
May you find strength and healing from the eternal love of our Lord God. He is with us even through our darkest hours

I pray for everyone’s peace and comfort in this time, in Christ Jesus, Amen.

A piece of my heart lives in Heaven, HE is my HUSBAND. I miss your voice, your hugs and kisses, your smell, your jokes. Help me get through this. Love you sweetie. ❤️
I am.just going through some old boxes of my late Mom and Dad’s and found Nick and Julie’s wedding pic and a note to my Mom and Dad. My Dad owned Cross Town Hdwe & Electic at St. Clair and Vaughan and when my Dad had a heart attack, My Mom and my Dad healing, relied on Nick to run the show and for being a wonderful empathic compassionate soul. I was 8 or 9 and my brother 12 or 13 when our Dad had his first heart attack and Nick was an incredible employee, mentor and friend of the family. Thank you Nick z”l Cheryl and Michael Zellitt my Father was Harry Zellitt z”l my Mom Rose z”l Zellitt. So sorry for your loss Julie and family. I remember him very well
