Thomas William Nicolis was born 30 May 1922 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the first son of Vasilios (William) Nicolis (b. 1892 in Kastoria, Greece) and Helen Photiades (b. 1897 in Mytilene, Greece). He was the brother of Miltiades (Milton) William Nicolis (b. 1928 in Manhattan, New York City). Thomas was my uncle, but that is all I know as my parents divorced and we lost touch with this side of my family tree. I know he lived in the same apartment in Astoria, Queens for most of his life.
