He was born October 26, 1957, in Brooklyn, NY, the son of Elizabeth (Celiberti) Notofranco and the late George Peter Nicklo Sr. He grew up in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn and lived there for many years prior to moving to Jupiter then DeerfieldBeach. He recently moved to Port St Lucie to be closer to his family.
Mr. Nicklo was a graduate of the Arts Institute of Ft Lauderdale, and went on to be self employed as a web designer and artist. He was also a published author.
George is survived by his son, Joseph Peter Nicklo of Port St Lucie; a daughter, Mellanie Nicklo Chafe and husband Bradley of Port St Lucie; grandchildren, Noah Landon Nicklo, Jason Bruce Chafe and Stephen Patrick Chafe all of Port St Lucie; his mother, Elizabeth (Celiberti) Notofranco of Stuart; brothers, Mike Nicklo Sr. of Cocoa Beach and Wayne Nicklo of Stuart; sisters, Donna Nicklo, Michelle Nicklo and Denise Nicklo all of Georgia; the love of his life, Christine Barton of Port St Lucie; stepsons, Christopher Barton and John Barton IV both of Port St Lucie. He was also the father of the late Jeanmarie Wallendorf who died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.
George fought his sickness very hard and was an amazing fighter. He started to win his battle with the help of his son and daughter. He kept fighting until the end.
He loved his children and was, and always will be, proud of them. He always said how lucky he was that they turned our so well. He loved his grandchildren, he was amazed by them and was very close to them.
We are happy that Father George, of Holy Family Church, came to visit him and gave him the last rites.
We will always love and miss him forever!
In accordance with George's wishes, services will be private.
