’76 is 50 in ’26
Tribute to Greg Nikitin
Greg would have been 68 today. Hard to believe it’s been over two years since his passing. I felt the need to write a few words about an old friend. It seems I’m doing that more these days. A reminder that Father Time is undefeated.

All the more reason to mark your calendars for September 26, 2026, our 50th reunion. Eileen Lyle and her team are planning something special. More to come.

Greg and I didn’t play the same sports, but living near the Common drew us together. He was a real character red car, full-length leather coats, big dreams of becoming a lawyer, and a flair for hyperbole. We both worked pumping gas at the BP on Route 1 and later at The Wharf in Boston. Champagne tastes on a beer budget for sure.

Junior year, Greg (a year ahead) started picking me up in that fire-engine red Buick Century. He loved that car and my mom sure didn’t love that horn every morning!

He loved music too Elton John, Boston, Jim Croce. A romantic at heart, with grand dreams. After a few Michelobs (not Ultras), we’d talk about becoming park rangers, there’s a paradox for you.

We reconnected a couple of years before he passed when he saw I had a place in Plymouth he was in Marshfield. We had dinner a few times, the last just months before he was gone.

He was classic Greg that night full of stories and laughs.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Greg.
One of a kind. Rest easy my friend.
