Like many a builder before, him, Iacocca died leaving nu-. merous buildings and projects that are monuments to his name. In the late 1940s he developed the Midway Manor community of Allentown. In-, eluded was a store and apartment building at 1151 N. Van Buren St.

Iacocca was a perfectionist and he reasoned that his repu- tation as a builder rode on each new structure he erected. A deeply religious man, Iacocca "believed strongly in close family ties. His family was perhaps the most important thing in his life. Iacocca was a son of the late Antonio and Angela Rosa (Ianelli) Iacocca of Italy. Besides his widow and son, Iacocca is survived by a daughter Delma, wife of Laurence Kelechava; two broth-thers, Marco and Theodore, of Allentown, and six grandchildren.

Lee, developer of Ford's Mustang, and his wife and two' children, reside in Bloomfield Hills, Mich." Michael Iacocca of Allen-l. town, a cousin of Nicola's, also achieved national titten-tion for the family with his outstanding sculpture. In honor of the Iacoccas' 50th wedding anniversary, the sculptor designed a gold medal 12 inches in diameter showing their profiles. It was, presented at a party in the Lehigh Country Club. Nicola became a prosperous contractor and real estate At social events, Nicola preferred to talk about Lee rather than himself.

Friends remarked that they did not know of a couple that was more proud of a child than the Iacoccas. There were times when Lee had to rely on his parents for strength and encouragement. As Lee entered high school he was stricken with a case of '-rheumatic fever that hung on for seven months. Frustrated because he could not participate in school athletics, Lee had all the more reason to excel in his courses. Nicola urged him to study hard and did all that he could to guide Lee.

Later, when the rewards came, they arrived in abundance. Nicola shared the joy of Lee's accomplishments in the business world. While an astute businessman himself, Nicola was also warm and gentle. He cared about the problems incurred by people seeking adequate homes, but he' was opposed to rent, control as being unworkable. One of the rare letters he wrote to the Call-Chronicle revealed his direct, uncluttered and somewhat humorous logic.

It said, in part: "No controls are any good. We know that with the control on meat, butter and potatoes, we paid more with control than without. However, if there were no butter, we could substitute oleomargarine. If there were no potatoes, we could substitute rice. "But with homes there is no substitute.
