Thomas (Nick) Cladinos passed away surrounded by his loved ones on December 21, 2023 at the age of 76. There will be a graveside service on Friday, June 21, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at the Chapman Cemetery with Pastor Mark Hartley officiating. Condolences may be sent to the family at www. soltwagnerfuneral.com.

Born in North Platte, Nick was the oldest of four. He married Sherry Barton of Chapman before moving to Long Beach, CA. The next 40 years were spent living in Long Beach working as a structural detailer that was responsible for many Disney and Getty Museum structures to name a few. He stayed a true Cornhusker fan watching the games whenever possible. He also spent hundreds of hours volunteering as a softball coach for his daughter’s teams. Always ready for a road trip, Nick was an avid fly fisherman enjoying half his summer vacations fishing in Yellowstone and the other half relaxing with family in Chapman. Once retired, Nick liked taking college classes, spending time with grandchildren and traveling to visit family. 1947-2023, Nick spent his dash between the two years in a meaningful way making memories with his family.

Nick is reunited with his siblings: Sam, Dee Dee, and Ted Cladinos. He is missed everyday by his wife Sherry, daughters Christine and Nicole, and 6 grandkids: Lauren, Emily, Ben, Tatum, Merris and Virginia.
