Born May 22, 1930 in Brooklyn, New York, Nicholas was the son of Nikodim and Mary Davidowsky. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Nadis Scelfo.
A 1948 graduate of Straubenmuller Textile High School in Manhattan, Nicholas enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 21 and was honorably discharged in 1953. Nicholas married Dorothy Draugel in 1957. He worked for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and then Prudential Life Insurance Company before joining Fortunoff, an upscale Long Island department store, from which he retired in 1995.
Nicholas and Dorothy raised three children in Hicksville, NY and moved to Sea Colony in 1996. During his 23 years in Palm Coast, he was active with the Palm Coast Elks Lodge #2709, Flagler County Marine Corps League Detachment #876 and was a member of St. Anastasia Catholic Church.
Nicholas enjoyed playing games and cards (especially Pinochle), dabbling in the stock market, a good joke, and a “very dry” martini. He was a fan of the Dodgers, Celtics, and Montreal Canadians.
Nicholas is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Dorothy, and their loving children, Michael Davidowsky of New York, Richard Davidowsky of Colorado, and Cathleen Davidowsky of New York.
