Nunzio Lombardozzi...everybody knows him simply as "Nunz" if you have ever been part of the 'ville. He's a son of Wellsville, born here, raised here and his list of accomplishments over the years is longer than my arm. We're honored that he considers us friends.
It was recently announced that Nunz has been selected to be inducted in the Lou Holtz/Upper Ohio Valley Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2010. Being a God fearing, humble man it's an accolade that he is accepting reluctantly. When first approached he declined the honor. We feel it is a well deserved honor and thought this little tribute written by Lonnie Hentzell was fitting.
Nunz will be inducted July 1 at the annual induction dinner being held at the Wierton American Cultural Center. Nunz joins other Wellsville notables such as Tony & Dominic Sgro, Medal-of-Honor recipient Melvin Newlin, John Venesile & Bevo Francis, who are already in that Hall-of-Fame. You can call 330-386-5443 with any questions on the event.
It's certainly an honor that Nunz has earned and another moment for Wellsville to shine. Congratulations Nunz...

Congrats to Nunzio ! A very special man that has been very dedicated to Wellsville for years. He may think that he does not deserve in the Hall of Fame but many think that they could not have made a better choice.
We whole heartily agree. For Wellsville's sake wish we could clone him and have him train the clones. They would be lucky to be half the man he is. As Peanuts would say "You're a good man Charlie Brown"...

Congrats to Nunz! They don't make 'em like him anymore.
They don't make them like Nunzio anymore, any when they did, unfortunately they only made one. He is a great man, Wellsville Legend, and I'm proud to know him. Thank You Nunzio, for everything you do!
To put it briefly, " That Nunzio, he's good people"
Congratulations!
Awesome tribute to an awesome man. I've known the Nunz my entire life, and couldn't agree more with these words that Lonnie wrote. I've actually witnessed most of what was said in the poem. Congrats Nunzio...
Great job by Lonnie, and agree with all the above statements, Wellsville is lucky to have even one Nunz! Congrats Nunzio!

nunz,
You deserve this recognition! You were one heck of a awesome mayor and all you have done. You was always hands on and on the job with all your workers. Wellsville will NEVER look as beautiful as it did when you were mayor!!
