NICHOLAS PASHKO It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of our much-loved father and grandfather, Nicholas Pashko, on Sunday, October 24, 2004 at Misericordia Health Centre. Nicholas was born in Bystritsia, Ukraine on February 28, 1920. He was sponsored to Canada by his aunt and uncle, Tina and Ted Romaniuk in the early 1950s. He worked at his uncles garage on McPhillips until his employment at the Greater Winnipeg Gas Company when he retired in 1984. He loved life and especially loved to socialize with many friends and family. He was an established singer and Ukrainian dancer, having done both for many years and was a licensed choir conductor. He also loved to cook and taught his children to cook many Ukrainian dishes over the years. He was famous for his cabbage rolls, borscht and perogies but especially for his pies. Nicholas was predeceased by his parents, George and Kateryna; his brothers and sisters in Ukraine. He is survived by his sister Maria Hovistchak in Bystritsia, Ukraine; his children, Teresa (Bill) Rumley, Susan (Ike) Wardekker and John (Carol) Pashko; grandchildren, Clayton (Dawna), Jamie, Thomas, Nicole and Janelle. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff at Misericordia Health Centre for their care and support.
