Nicholas Francis Altomare
West Point, 1977
Be Thou At Peace

| Nick was someone who just stood out in the myriad of USMA memories starting at Prep School in 1972 until graduation in 1977. I remember his exuberance, energy and leadership qualities. He could turn a dark day on a dime with a high energy cheerful laugh and anyone who spent some time with him knows exactly what I am talking about. We had some incredible time together driving from Fort Belvoir to his home in Fishkill, NY on multiple occasions and he made time just fly by with his sharing. His love of motorcycles was infectious and so it was passed on to me as he guided me to my first bike during our senior year. We were both linebackers on the Prep school football team and he walked the talk with the intensity he put onto the playing field. One thing for sure was that no day was a dark day when Nick was around because no matter what...there was always something to appreciate or smile about. Even though I have not seen Nick in many years, I have thought of him often and so much regret not having one more opportunity to spend time with him here on earth. Have surely missed him and look forward to the time when we meet again. |
