Nick, fondly known by his family as "Welo," was a loving and supportive husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He cherished spending time with his children and grandchildren, loved traveling with his friends and family and enjoyed going to Mountaineer Park Race Track.
Surviving are four children, Diana Iacino and her husband Joseph, North Canton, Ohio; Robert Rosati and his wife Roni, and Cynthia Reynolds and her husband David, all of Hermitage; and Mark Rosati and his wife Lori, Burlington, Ky.; a brother, Louis Rosati and his wife Sandra, Farrell; and a brother-in-law, Anthony Conti, Hermitage.

Besides his wife and parents, Nick was preceded in death by a sister, Rose Conti.

They would also like to recognize the outstanding nursing care their dad received during his brief stay at UPMC Horizon, Farrell.
