Edward “Buzzy” Francis Nickoles passed away, peacefully, in his sleep on Wednesday, July 28, 2021, at his home in Sykesville, MD. The eldest of nine children, Ed was born on June 4, 1935, to Mary Elizabeth Luers Nickoles and Victor Joseph Nickoles.
Ed spent his young life working on the family farm. After leaving the family farm, he was a carpenter/ building contractor, as well as a truck driver.
