It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved father, Dominic “Nick” Vincent Balogh, Jr. of Meriden, CT on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. He is survived by his children Ashley N. Balogh, Dominic V. (III) & Jessica Balogh, and Margaret M. Balogh; mother Anne Balogh; siblings Roseanne & Richard Ferraro, Christopher & Donna Balogh, and Stephanie & William Healy; grandchildren Dominic Balogh IV, Amelie Victor & Ian Victor; the mother of his children, Deidre D. Flowers; many nieces, nephews, and extended family. He is pre-deceased by his father Dominic V. Balogh. Nick was well-loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, integrity, and service to his community. Over the span of 30 years, he built and ran a successful construction company (Balogh’s Painting & Restoration), specializing in historic residential restoration. Over the course of being in business, Nick’s clientele was mostly comprised of repeat customers and referrals, who all recognized his remarkable craftsmanship and character. Nick was a role model and dedicated friend in the recovery community. Nick’s passions included playing drums, painting, reading, spending time with family, and catching a game. He grew up in Mount Carmel in Hamden with his mother, father, and three siblings. He was a talented multi-sport athlete who played for both Cheshire Academy and Hamden H.S. Following in his father’s footsteps, Nick joined the U.S. Air Force, where he specialized in Intelligence and met his future wife, Deidre. In recent years, he became a proud grandfather (“Pop”) and worked alongside his son in the family business. He was kind, generous, and would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him for help.

Family and friends are invited to join us in remembrance of his life and legacy at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue on Tuesday, March 12th from 4 to 7 PM.  A service will be conducted in the funeral home at 7:00.
