Nick Mesogianes

Nick Mesogianes, 80, of Pennsville, NJ passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 9th after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Nick was a 1962 graduate of Penns Grove Regional High School (ReHi) and a 1968 graduate of Rutgers University. He was a devoted father, successful businessman and an avid outdoorsman. He spent most of his career working out of Philadelphia as a senior executive for the reinsurance firm, RFC Intermediaries Inc. where, during his tenure, he oversaw operations for most of the East Coast. He countered the stress and strain of his professional life by spending time with his family, working on his farm and pursuing time afield. While he was most fond of hunting and fishing, he also enjoyed vacations at the shore and going to the casinos with his wife. He retired in 1996 from the corporate world in order to spend more time pursuing these activities and devote more time to his family. For those that knew him, we’d be remiss if we didn’t also mention that he was a natural born storyteller. As an outdoorsman he had a knack for exaggeration and embellishment and was always willing to stretch a story for maximum effect. Born in Salem, NJ he was the son of the late William and Athena Mesogianes. He was also predeceased by his brothers John and Nick Mesogianes and his wife of 55 years, Mary Jane Mesogianes. He is survived by his three children, Chris Mesogianes (Rhonda), Wendy Mesogianes (John) and Dr. Michael Mesogianes (Lauren). Nick is also survived by his three grandchildren, Elizabeth, Nick and Matthew who he absolutely adored and many granddogs. A viewing will be held at the Ashcraft Funeral Home located at 740 South Broadway in Pennsville, NJ on Wednesday, April 16th from 11am to 12pm with a service at 12pm. Interment will follow at Lawnside Cemetery in Woodstown, NJ. The family asks that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to any of the following organizations… Dream Hunt Foundation, Hunt of a Lifetime Foundation, Catch a Dream Foundation, Take ‘Em Outdoors or God’s Outdoor Angels Foundation. These organizations offer outdoor opportunities for terminally ill or disabled children.
