The Village Council will work with friends and family of Nicholas Campanello in creating an appropriate memorial for the Ridgewood teen who died suddenly last month, only weeks before the start of his senior year of high school.
Friends painted Nick Campanello’s nickname, ‘Campi,’ on the wall at The View on Crest Road. Campanello, who died suddenly last month, often hung out with his friends there.
The debate, however, is the location of the memorial as proposed by those closest to the family.
Campanello, 16, suffered an asthma attack at a village residence in the early morning hours on Aug. 8. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
In the hours immediately following his death, many of Campanello’s friends found solace together at the stone wall along Crest Road. With an unobstructed panoramic view of the New York City skyline, the location, known to many as The View, was a popular hangout for Campanello and his buddies.
