Nicholas “Nickey” Trent was born on December 24, 1941 in Philadelphia to the late Joseph and Palma (Cammisa). Nickey grew up in South Philly and from a very young age his love of cars showed and it became his life-long passion. He especially loved restoring antique cars and when he finished them they looked better than new because he would stay up for days at a time if he had to just to get the motor to “shine like a diamond”. He was known for taking road trips in a ’54 Buick. Nickey loved to get up and go wherever he wanted on a whim (after he made everyone wait for him to take his three hour showers) and he even lived in Las Vegas for several years. His family was so happy when he decided to move back home in 2003 and he settled in Williamstown, NJ, where he lived for the rest of his life. He loved the land in the back of his house, and the garage he had built there where he would sit for hours with his dog Gidget talking with his friends and family, working on cars, and smoking Lucky Strikes. Everyone who knows Nickey knows about his love for music, especially Elvis, and how Oldies 98 was always playing wherever he was. His favorite shows and movies were all in black and white, and he would watch them just to spot the antique cars.
More than anything else, Nickey loved his family, who will be lost without him. He loved his wife Theresa and his pets Gidget and Herbie. He was a wonderful Dad to Tricia (Greg), Joey (Rita), Natalie, Nickey (Michelle), Johnny (Joy), Kim, and Tonna (Dave). He was a proud, loving Pop Pop to Nicole (Steve), Renee, Linda, Dana, Joey Jr., Nickey Jr., Danielle, Angelo, John John, Sal, Dominique, Alicia, and Matt Jr. and great-grandfather to Abrianna “Dennis the Menace”, Dior “Spanky”, and Sal IV. He was loved more than any brother in the world by his two little sisters Linda (Nickey D) and Jodi (John), and was a great uncle to Stacy, Nicole (Jason), Vincent, Jamie (Chris), Joey, Josh, Toni, and Palma. He was also blessed with many wonderful cousins and friends, many of whom he knew his entire life. Nickey was the greatest man in the world to his family and we will all miss his crazy sense of humor and the way he loved us.
