Rob is survived by the love of his life, his devoted wife Cathy (Bosak) Nistico, who stood by his side with unwavering strength and compassion. He was a proud and loving father to his son, Christian Nistico, and daughter-in-law, Sage (Carfagno) Nistico. Rob found immense joy in his role as "Pop-Pop" to his treasured grandchildren, Luca and Alessia Nistico, who brought him endless smiles and comfort. He is survived by his Uncle Pete Pileggi and his Aunt Marge Quigley and their family. Rob is also survived by his brothers Pete (Lauren) and EJ (Dominika), niece Gianna, nephew Giuseppe, and extended family members who will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and sense of humor.
