Nicholas Frendo
1927 - 2019
Passed away suddenly in Mexico, on Saturday March 23rd, in his 92nd year.

“Old men ought to be explorers...
Home is where one starts from, as we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated...”
T S Eliot "East Coker"
Home, then, for Nick was Malta, which he left just shy of his 30th birthday, a
veteran of WWII , leaving the British Forces with the rank of Lieutenant.
He had been a scholarship student at university, a track and field competitor with few rivals in the one mile race, and graduated a pharmacist by profession. He moved to Canada, married a young woman from Jamaica, raised two children in Ontario and followed them later in life in moving to Knowlton.
A soccer referee, birder, music and theatre fan, his interests were imparted with his own enthusiasm for these to others — most notably his children and their children. An ability that is far rarer than it sounds.
Nick spent his last days in Mexico, with his family, on the Mayan Riviera, a place he and his wife Lorna described as paradise - because of the people, flora and fauna , and also for Nick the abundance of wonderful desserts!
A celebration of Nick’s life will take place on Saturday May 11th at 3:00pm in the "little white church, 91 Glen Road, West Bolton, QC
In lieu of flowers, donations to Parkinson Canada - parkinson.ca
or your local Parkinson’s Society would be appreciated.
