Gregory Nelson (1965)

Feb. 15, 2021. Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church. Dear son of the late Jack and Arlene Nickolai of Kenosha, Wisconsin; beloved husband of 44 years to Beatrice Nickolai (nee Beuttenmuller); loving father of Rev. John Nickolai, Kevin (Monica) Nickolai, Daniel (Monica) Nickolai, Annie (Ryan) Cross, and Michael (Megan) Nickolai; loving grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many.

After graduating from St. Louis University with his Ph.D. in American Studies, Tom began his academic career teaching history at Cardinal Glennon College and then became Director of Academic Advising at Webster University.

Tom's generous spirit and sense of humor enlivened everyone around him.

Out of loving concern for our family and friends, the Mass of the Resurrection at lncarnate Word Catholic Church will be private. A celebration of Tom's life will be held at a later date.

ln lieu of flowers, contributions in Tom's honor may be made to st. Louis Priory School.

I lived next door to the "Nickolai's" for a number of years. Tom and I went to St.Mark's and St. Joes. He was always a pleasure to talk to as were the rest of the Nickolai family.
