Nicholas Mangione, the owner of Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, is remembered as a hardworking entrepreneur, a beloved family man and one not afraid to give a good, hearty handshake.

He died Nov. 2 at the age of 83 from complications from a stroke, and his funeral Mass was held Thursday at St. Isaac Jogues Roman Catholic Church in Parkville.
