WILLIAM FRANK NICOL July 17, 1918 - October 17, 2003 Peacefully, on Friday, October 17, 2003, William Frank Nicol passed away at Calvary Place Personal Care Home at the age of 85 years. He is survived by his daughter Dale (Ron) and granddaughter Suzanne; two step-sons, Randy Christensen of Toronto, ON and Wade Christensen (Bonnie) of Port Moody, BC and their children, Marisa and Kyle; as well as nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Frank was predeceased by his first wife Lillian and his second wife Marg; brother Alec and his parents, Alec and Charlotte Nicol. Frank lived in Winnipeg all his life after coming to Canada from England with his parents at a very young age. For over 30 years he lived in his own home on Clifton Street but had to move to Misericordia Intrim Care and then to Calvary Place in Feb. 2000 as his health declined. Frank worked for the C.P.R. for 42 years as a Carman. He took an early retirement and enjoyed his extra time gardening, tinkering with his car, playing cards and he also enjoyed league bowling for many years, especially the Red Alex bowling league. In his late teens he played goalie for the 1938 Memorial Cup Champions - St. Boniface Seals. From that time on he had a love for hockey. Franks funeral service will be held on Wednesday, October 22 in the Chapel of Memories in Wojciks Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Ave. at Sharp Boulevard, with Chaplain Henry Schulz officiating. Interment will follow in Brookside Cemetery, 3001 Notre Dame Ave. Dale and family would like to extend a special thanks to all the wonderful staff at Calvary Place who took that extra effort to make Dads last home special. Your kindness and love will never be forgotten. You are all angels. Also, a special thanks to Marilyn Wedlake and Henry Schulz at this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations in Franks memory may be made to Calvary Place Personal Care Home, 1325 Erin St., Winnipeg, MB, R3E 3R6. Forever Loved; Forever Missed. May You Rest In Peace Dad.
