Mr. Nikitas passed away this week at the age of 94. Mr. Nikitas was a friend of my father and they grew up on Lincoln Street in Fitchburg. My childhood memories of Mr. Nikitas are from visiting the Fire Station on Oliver Street in Fitchburg. My father would bring us there and Mr. Nikitas would let us get on the fire engines as well as one time going down the fire pole. What is also interesting was my friend Don Starr grew up with Mr. Nikitas' son Harry and Don would mention numerous times stories about that friendship. I didn't put the two stories together until I read the obituary and realized that over the years I had a connection to Don's friend. Small World!
