Carl P. (Kaz) Nicsevic

NORTH GREENBUSH - Carl P.P (Kaz) Nicsevic, 80, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday May 4, 2017 after a short and courageous battle with the C. He was born January 18, 1937 to the late Felix and Czeslowa Dlugowenska Nicewicz in Troy. Carl was the husband of the late Jacqueline Mancino Nicsevic. He is survived by two of his nine siblings, Barbara Pelcher and Genevieve Nicsevic. He has four loving daughters, Carla, Susan, Judy and Nancy; Sons-inlaw, Greg, Jeffff, Ray and Dave. He has five grandchildren, Joey, Jessy, Nikolas, Alex and Sydney and is also survived by many nieces, nephews, sisters in in-law and a world full of friends. In addition to his late wife Jacky, he was also predeceased by his siblings, Victoria Brown, Mary James, Helen Nicsevic, Frank Nicsevic, Teresa Barney, Margie Bomba and Joe Niczewicz.

Carl worked most recently at the R.P.I. fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, where he made lifelong friends through the 22 years he was there; his extended family. Carl was genuine to the core, known for his quick wit, friendly smile, love of history and travel and never ending supply of corny jokes. He was his daughter’s biggest softball fan and continued his fandom watching his grandchildren play sports. His pride for his Polish heritage and love of polka music was known by all and he could be seen spinning and gliding across the floor at every weekend dance or festival he could get to. He was loved by many and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. A few thoughts Kaz would want us all to remember; don’t take life so seriously, seriously laugh at your-your self, take a trip, laugh from your heart, hold your loved ones close and for ssssttt sake, get up and DANCE!!! Ain’t it?!?!

The family would like to give a special thanks to the C4 nurses and doctors at Albany Med., NYOH and the many family members and friends who visited and provided support through this tough time.
