So sorry to hear of Nick's passing. It's an end of an era for Forestville. I remember many a day visiting Dilly's with my Dad, Robert Frantz and Uncle Horace on a Saturday with Nick and a number of other local miners having a beer under the apple tree off of Dilly's back porch. My guess is they are all having a visit together. Rosemary please accept my sincere condolences.
