Nicholas Edward Proznick was born to Joe and Dora Proznick in 1936, and raised on a farm near Wynyard, Saskatchewan. As the youngest of seven surviving children, his siblings played a key role in his care and upbringing.
After attending the University of Saskatchewan, Nicholas moved to B.C., earned a degree in social work, and built his career in social services until his retirement in 1999.
Nicholas and Ann Marie were married in 1965 and settled in
Langley, B.C. In 1968 he built his own family home in the
Murrayville area, and remained there until his passing.
A great game of golf was always a priority for Nicholas, but his true passion was cooking. He was known to provide baked goods and Ukrainian meals, but his specialty was perogies. His cooking was often accompanied by the sounds of classical music or opera. Nicholas’ friends and family always looked forward to the manufacturing and distribution of his next batch of perogies.
Nicholas leaves behind his wife Ann Marie, daughter Laurel (Roland), son David (Susan), his 3 surviving brothers Fred, Paul, and Elmer, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Death notice for the town of: Aldergrove, Province: Colombie britanique
So sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. He was a great friend to my parents Gordon & Lela Westdorp, my uncle Bernard Westdorp and myself Debra Westdorp. Nick was always ready to lend a hand and help where he saw a need. My mom and I looked forward to his weekly phone calls to let us know how he was feeling. We will miss him greatly and send our sympathies to the family.
