To the family of Nick Demma: I was so saddened to learn of
Nick’s passing. My heart sank. We are related on both my mother
and father’s side of the family. During the late forties Nick and his
dad George came up here to Worcester, Massachusetts to visit my
mom Kaliopi and my dad, Christo Demma who operated a grocery
store and wouldn’t you know instead of going outdoors to play
Nick dutifully helped my dad in the store, he was that kind of guy.
This small act of kindness endeared him in the hearts of my
parents forever. In recent years, Nick and I had many long
telephone conversations in which I grew to know Nick as a
compassionate and loving person. I will really miss him.

I enjoyed getting to know Nick and discussing his
vision for his building in downtown. He would
always insist on buying me lunch and brought our
office bagels and treats on numerous occasions
along with roses from his garden. So sorry for
your family's loss.

My thoughts are with you on the passing of Mr.
Demma. I spoke with him on several occasions about
the restoration of his building in Jonesborough's
Historic District and always enjoyed our
conversations.
