Gene L. Nicolo
Surrounded by family and caregivers, Gene "Geno" Nicolo, 87 passed away on September 18th, 2012 of natural causes in his home at Sunrise Senior Living.
Eugene Louie Nicolo was born in Magna, Utah on February 18, 1925 to Tony Nicolo and Frances Nicolo and was proud to be 100% Italian.
Gene graduated from West High in 1942. He served honorably in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1943 to 1946. Gene attended Stevens Henager Business College where he graduated and later received his C.P.A in 1954. Gene worked as a tax accountant for George Larson & Associates for almost 40 yrs. until they both moved to Snow Christensen and Martineau where Gene retired.
Gene was a true "gym rat" and counted himself lucky to be surrounded by his many friends, several times a week. He moved from the YMCA to the Deseret Gym with his group of friends until it closed and they relocated to the Sports Mall in Murray. He worked out passionately until at age 86 as one friend described, he was just "Holding Court" at the gym.
Gene is survived by half- brother Joseph Simonini; nephew Wayne (Peeches) Cederholm; nieces Shauna (Doug) Eldredge, Michelle (Mark) Prentice and Toni Nicolo. He was preceded in death by brother Ernest Nicolo and sister LaRae Cederholm.

A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Ambrose Church, 1975 South 2300 East on Saturday, September 22 at 11:00 A.M. Committal will follow at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 4th Avenue and "T" Street.
The family would like to thank the exceptional loving and caring staff at Sunrise Senior Living, his physicians Dr. Hanlon and Dr. Mackie as well as the many others who touched his life.
In Loving Memory
My condolences to the entire family.

Dear Joe, Toni and Michelle, To quote the Author, Bruce Coville: "Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people–they always go away sooner or later. You can't hold them anymore than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.? Pease know that my thoughts, prayers and love are with you during your time of sorrow and that Gene will be in your hearts forever.

We are sad to learn of Gino's passing. We are sorry we missed the funeral due to being our of town and learning of his passing on our return. He was a good man. I enjoyed playing handball and racqetball with him many years at the YMCA. He had a great sense of humor and is greatly missed by all who knew him. Dennis and Polly Potts
