A dedicated husband, father and friend as well as a friend to all animals, great and small, Nick had a passion for life that continued until just this past Tuesday. The consummate sports fan, the chess player, the gambler, the reader, the political analyst, the jokester, the arm chair philosopher, Nick was a man of many interests and a zest for life. He brought joy to any conversation, and always left you thinking with a smile on your face. He will be sorely missed.

Nick is survived by his wife Annette Naples, and their three children: Diana Sterner of Boca Raton, Nick Naples III of Ft. Lauderdale; and Brian Naples of Jacksonville, Fl . He also is survived by 3 grandchildren, Christopher Campo, Anthony Naples, and Lucille Naples, as well as his cairn terrier and best friend, Charlie.
