Nicholas's obituary
Nicholas Anthony Brandi of Stamford, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on 8/7/2023 following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. Nick was born on 6/28/1960 and was raised and lived most of his life in Westchester, New York. He attended John F. Kennedy High School in Somers, New York, Purchase College SUNY, and Western Connecticut State University.
A natural wordsmith, he had a distinguished career in publishing across multiple modalities and, until recently, was employed by Westchester Magazine, where he was the Managing Editor. Handsome, an adroit dancer, and a gifted thespian, he was no stranger to the stage, including appearing in several films, stage productions, and even a well-regarded Off-Broadway show. Nick was the Rabbi in the acclaimed Grandma Silvia's Funeral and was also in Jekyll and Hyde
Nick’s clever humor and boisterous laugh were almost as legendary as his brilliant intellect, he was a proud member of Mensa. He was beloved by many and is predeceased by his parents, Helen and Anthony Brandi, and his sister Dolores Brandi DelMonte. He is survived by his son Adam Brandi; his sister Catherine Buzzetto and her husband Alan; his nieces Stacey Donohue, Nicole Hollywood, Denise Patterson, and Christie DelMonte; his great nephews Ryan Buzzetto More, Anthony Buzzetto More, Patrick Donohue, Kevin Patterson, and Bryce Patterson; a number of cousins and numerous friends.
Nick's memory will be a blessing.
