Michael Leo Nicholas, 72 July 10, 1950 - May 11, 2023

Michael Leo Nicholas, 72, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, finished his battle with cancer on Thursday, May 11, 2023.

Mike was born on July 10, 1950 in Lewiston, Maine, to Leo and Mary Nicholas.  He graduated from Perkins Institute for the Blind in 1972.  On November 30, 1974 he married the love of his life, Helen Marion of Haverhill, Massachusetts.

While Mike worked through the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind at many concession stands in the greater Boston area, most famously, “Mike’s Snack Shack” in the Haverhill Post Office, his true life’s work, the job that kept him going, was caring for his family.  Further demonstrating this passion in caring for people, he and his wife organized a compassionate ministry in Haverhill that provided food and clothing for those in need.

Michael will be greatly missed by his wife Helen, his sisters Bernadette Cunningham, Elizabeth Chamberlain, and Cecile Nicholas, his brother John Nicholas, his daughter Heather and her husband Tom, their four children, Emily, Thomas, Nicholas, and Katy Nowell, his daughter Jessica Merkaj and her children Austin, Brandon, and JessaLynn, and many nieces and nephews.

Arrangements are in the care of the Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main St., Haverhill, MA.  Please visit Comeau Funeral Home on Facebook or www.comeaufuneral.com
