Nick Lusic
October 21, 1952 — May 8, 2023
It is with our broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Beloved Husband, Father and Dida (Grandfather), Nicholas (Nick) John Lusic, on Monday, May 8, 2023 at the age of 70. Nick was a humble, pillar of strength in our lives and the lives of many others in San Pedro. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Born the second of three sons to Ivo and Radmila Lusic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Oct. 21, 1952, he and his family settled in San Pedro in 1960. He attended 15th St., Dana Jr. High, San Pedro High and Cal Poly Pomona. Through the years, he was honored with numerous awards for his athletic accomplishments in both baseball and basketball. Nick married his one and only love, Kristine Spence on October 9, 1976. Together they raised their 3 loving children, Nick(45), Ryan(42) and Andria (39). Nick loved coaching his kids and others in both baseball and softball, where he left an impact in many of their lives. Two of his most memorable accomplishments were coaching the 1989 Eastview All Star team all the way to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, and being co-inducted beside his brother, George, into the San Pedro High School Hall of Fame in 2014. In recent years, some of his proudest moments were watching his grandchildren in their sports activities, while of course, still coaching from the stands. Nick devoted his life to working hard for his family. He owned an Industrial Painting Company for many years, before becoming a proud, dedicated ILWU Local 13 member over 25 years ago. In the most recent years, Nick worked as a clerk for Local 63. He loved his job and all the wonderful friendships he made while working on the docks.
Nick is survived by his loving wife, Kris, 3 children, Nick, Ryan and Andria (Steve) Kordic, 7 Grandchilden, Karly, Steven and Kelsey Kordic, Camryn and Kendall Lusic and Niko and Nika Lusic, brothers Mike (Roseann) Lusic, George (Sharon) Lusic, sister in law, Patty (Chris) Davis, numerous nieces,nephews, cousins and many extended family members. Viewing in the chapel will be Sunday, May 21 4:30-8:30pm. Funeral Service Monday May 22nd at 11:00 a.m. Both at Green Hills Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to EVLL and/or SPGSA.
