Thomas Nutini, talented musician, business owner
Thomas Allen Nutini, 48, of Burlington, a talented musician and owner of a piano tuning and moving company, died Sunday of cardiac arrest.
Mr. Nutini, who played piano and guitar, was a much-sought after musician who fit in easily with other band members.
"He was one of those people who could play immediately with just about any band, " said Mr. Nutini's aunt, Mary Nutini. "He knew how to pick up on whatever type of music they were playing."
Although Mr. Nutini played all sorts of music, his personal favorite was country.
Early in his career he toured the country with the Mike Smith Band and was featured locally at Bobby Mackey's club in Wilder and at other night spots.
He also owned Nutini Tuning & Moving Co.
"He took piano tuning lessons and ran a very successful tuning and piano moving business, " said Ms. Nutini.
Mr. Nutini was a exceptionally compassionate person, said his aunt.
"He loved to help others, especially those who were having a hard time, " she said. "People always liked him. He had a neat personality. He was a nice person."
