Nicholas G. Balog, age 85, entered eternal life on April 3, 2017.
He was the tenth of thirteen children born to Michael and Mary Balog
in Peckville, PA. He was the outstanding tackle player for
Blakely High School's football team, winning two back to back
Championship games in the Eastern Conference and a member
of the Blakely Papa Bear Club. He moved to Bridgeport, CT
in 1950 and worked in the steel industry until he retired from
Carpenter Technology in 1989. Always very generous, he enjoyed
hosting family gatherings, grill cooking and family pinochle card
games. Since moving to sunny Florida in 1995, he was a member of
Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church, volunteered at the weekly
Bingo games, annual festivals, and worked on the B-team for coffee
and doughnuts on Sundays after masses. Health issues prevented him
from continued service.

He is survived by his loving wife, Hildegard, of 64 years; two children, daughter, Debra (Dave Madison), son Nicholas A. (Patricia); grandchildren, Sara, Kevin, Andrew, Christopher; sister, Irene (Gerald) Zorechak, brother, Daniel (Joan) Balog. He is predeceased by sisters, Marie, Margie, Elizabeth, and brothers, Michael, John, Steve, Joseph, Peter, Eugene and Andrew.
