James K. Nichol, Sr., 90, of Eighty-Four, Pa., formerly of Worthington, went home to be with his creator and Savior on Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020.
Jim retired in September 1992, after a 40-year career as an over the road and local truck driver. He was a member of both Western Pennsylvania Teamsters Local Union No. 30 and Southwestern Pennsylvania Teamsters Local No. 491. He worked for several different companies from Kittanning to Irwin, Pa., to Wetterau INC in New Eagle, Pa. He was a former member of Worthington Baptist Church, Plum Boro Baptist Church and he last attended and was a member of Fallowfield Baptist Church in Charleroi, Pa. He was also a member of Washington Cruisers. He loved attending Friday and Saturday night's cruise events with his wife, Dorothy, before she passed away, along with son, Jim, and daughter-in-law, Alice. He loved looking at cars and was especially fond of Fords. Of course, any good looking car that passed his way always caught his eye and deserved a thorough once over. He was proud to be the first of five generations of James K. Nichol's. If you ever wanted to know about any event that happened locally or in his personal life from the time he was a teenager all you had to do was ask him. He seemed to remember everything with a sharp and clear mind. He was a loving family man who was kind hearted and quick to offer a smile. He was a giving man who would offer a kind word to everyone he met. His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was very evident in everything he did to all his family and friends.
Jim was born in Worthington, on July 4, 1930. He was the son of the late Omer W. Nichol and Ethel (Shearer) Nichol.
His wife of 69 1/2 years, Dorothy (Lytle) Nichol, preceded him in death last year.
He is survived by two children: James K. Nichol, Jr. (Alice) and Denise Allgood. Other survivors include grandchildren: Robert Hollobaugh (Jodi), Carol Williams (Kim), James K. Nichol, III (Michelle), Kenneth Hollobaugh (Robin), Rebecca Nichol and Aaron Hollobaugh; 16 great-grandchildren; and 14 great-great grandchildren.
He was older brother to William "Bill" (Sonya), Robert "Bob" (Ilene) and Barbara Hollinger, who all preceded him in death.
