NICKOLAS (NICK) SUL November 6, 1928 - August 28, 2012 It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather at the Arborg Personal Care Home. Left to mourn his passing are his loving wife of 58 years Blanche (nee Carter), children David (Dawn) of Arborg, Diane (Allan) Houndle of Petersfield, and Todd of Peguis. He is also survived by six grandchildren: Frank, Levi, Elizabeth, Linda, Janine and Jenica. He is also survived by four great-grandchildren: Brayden, Avery, Leighton, and Mia. Nick is also survived by six sisters: Stella, Elsie, Stephanie, Katrinka, Irene, and Susan, and three brothers, Fred, Tom and Walter. He was predeceased by an infant sister, father John (1934), mother Dolly Isaryk (2005), stepfather Tony Faschowy (1973), brother Ed (1992), sister Helen (1995), brother Joe (2004), brother John (2007). Nick was born and raised in the Alonsa area and moved to Winnipeg in the late 1940s. He met the love of his life Blanche at a dance, they married in 1954. Nick moved the family from Winnipeg to the Fisherton area to start a mink ranch in 1967. He followed in 1968 when he became the butcher for the Co-op. He later had a farrow to finish operation, sold weanlings, raised broilers, and had a goose laying flock along with a strawberry u-pick. Nick had various jobs over the years. He worked as a farmer, blaster in gold mines, shipper at Swifts in Winnipeg, a butcher in Fisher Branch and Hodgson, pulp cutter, jail house guard, trapper, and a Seneca root digger. Nick enjoyed listening to and playing music. He played guitar and sang in a band and would sometimes play the mouth organ. The group he was with would play at weddings. He would sing at church and while at work in his five acre strawberry patch. He asked Jesus into his heart in 1970. He took part in believer's baptisms at the Maidstone Christian Fellowship Church in 1972. While attending Maidstone, he was a Sunday school teacher, treasurer, board member and Sunday school superintendent. Nick enjoyed hunting and fishing. He enjoyed it so much, that he and some friends moved an old log cabin to Birch Lake. He would fish, hunt and even trap there, sometimes for more than a week at a time. The family would like to thank Dr. El and the staff of the Arborg Personal Care Home for their wonderful care and compassion. Nick previously lived at the Fisher Branch Personal Care Home from August 2008 to July 24, 2012, we also want to thank the doctors and staff there for making his stay there comfortable. Memorial service will be held in the Ukrainian National Home in Fisher Branch on Saturday, September 8 at 11:30 a.m. Interment will follow at St. George's Wakefield Cemetery which is located at 8716 Highway #9 in Clandeboye, MB.
