IN MEMORIAM

Michael Nicolais, 91;

Clark Estates President

COOPERSTOWN – Michael Nicolais, 91, former president of The Clark Estates who served on the board of directors at The Baseball Hall of Fame and The Fenimore Art Museum, passed away peacefully this morning, Nov. 7, after a short battle with cancer.

As recently as six months ago, he was still indulging in his daily activities, walking a mile and a half to his health club, doing a modest work-out, having breakfast with friends and then hopping on the subway to go the office where he remained an active financial manager.  He loved the financial markets and he loved New York City, where he was born and spent a large part of his life.
