NICKOLAS CRISPIN GEORGE Age 88, of Vacaville, CA (formerly of Pittsburgh), passed away on March 10, 2017, as a result of brain trauma from a stroke in Oct. 2008 and a fall in 2012. Cris was born and educated in Pittsburgh, PA, graduating from South Hills H.S. then Duquesne University in 1951. He enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school, and was later called out of college to serve another term during the Korean Conflict, and was honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant. He had a successful career as a pharmaceutical representative / district manager with McNeil Labs, ultimately being transferred to California in the late 70's. He made his home in Dixon, CA where he carried out his responsibilities as a legislative advocate in matters of health care to 14 western states. Survived by son, Eric (Brenda) of Pataskala, OH; daughter, Karen (Tom Dee) of Milan, IN; and four grandchildren, Darcie, Notarile (Andrew), Seth (Allie) and Kevin (Kelsie) Nickolas; two of his four siblings survive, Lucille Adams and Mary Lou Heigle of Pittsburgh, PA; as well as 16 nieces and nephews. His first wife of 36 years, Audrey Karl Nickolas, preceded him in death in 1986, and his brother, Edward Nickolas and Rose Conboy. After his retirement in 1987, he found great pleasure in restoring and driving Model A Fords, playing poker and bridge, serving as a cruise ship host, and helping his neighbors. He married again in 2000 and moved to Vacaville, and used his "Mr. Fix-it" talents to help Faith in Action and Habitat for Humanity. The stroke in October, 2008 curtailed most of his volunteer activities after that time, though he was able to visit hospital patients briefly as part of NorthBay Hospital Guild. A celebration of his life by friends and family will occur on Saturday from 2-4 p.m. at the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, INC., 301 Curry Hollow Rd., Pgh. 15236.
