Richard W. Nicholson


We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Richard W. Nicholson June 4, 1946-April 16, 2017 Rick was a wonderful loving husband, father, grand-father, great grandfather and friend to many. He will be fondly remembered for his strong commitment and love for his family, his sense of humour and his love of curling. May he have an eternity of throwing the perfect draw weight.

Rick was predeceased by his parents George and Ann; parents in law Millie and Rijk Van Groen; his brothers Robert (Francis), George (Donna) and Ron (Effie); sister in law Marie (Larry) Schwabe and brother in law Gary Palmer.
