Anne, Val, Doug, Peggy, Patricia and Stuart,
Wishing you heartfelt condolences on the passing of Nick. I have wonderful memories of our time in Beverley, shared with the entire Frunchak family. Always could count on a warm smile from "Mr Frunchak" and a sincere interest in what was happening in our families lives. He will be missed, but fondly remembered
