I can’t believe it! Nick Buzolich Sr passed away four years ago. I was doing a story on the San Pedro Sportswalk and ran across my friend Nick Buzolich’s name and to this website. When we inducted him into the Sportswalk, another friend and I went down to Irvine and interviewed him. Later, he came to San Pedro over to my house and had a great chat.

I wrote a long long story about him and his achievements at San Pedro High School and Pepperdine University.
I still have it.

We tried to track Nick down a couple of years ago for a follow-up story. No luck.

Hopefully, someone can give him my phone number 310-548-6189 or e-mail addresss mkbobich@cox.net.

Thanks.

My condolences. I hope he has a Guiness in Heaven with both my Grandfathers.

Sorry to hear it Thad. I had no idea Nick was such an acomplished athlete! I guess that’s where you get it from.

I didn’t know him long but he certainly made an impression on me as quite a charming guy. I’m sure my grandfathers are welcoming him to their sailboat with some good German beer.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Buzolich’s passing. He was my high school gym teacher at Birmingham, but also much more. We became friends, even when I continued to college. We took photos together at Vasquez Rocks. He taught me how to use his B&H 16mm movie camera. He was a man of many interests, and opened his heart to others. I think of him still, from time to time, with only the fondest of regard.
