Nikolaj "Nick" Matush

MATUSH, NIKOLAJ “NICK” - The passing of Nikolaj “Nick” Matush occurred at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on Friday, October 3, 2014. He was 88. Nick was born in Ukraine on March 8, 1926. Nick was of Prisoner of War in Germany and following his war service he travelled to England where he met the love of his life, his dear wife, the former Joyce Musson. Together they travelled to Canada in 1951. Nick was deeply saddened when his beloved Joyce passed away in 1996. Prior to his retirement, Nick worked as a Limekiln Operator with Kimberly-Clark Ltd., Terrace Bay, Ontario. Nick loved the great outdoors and he found great enjoyment spending time at his camp. He was also an avid moose hunter and fisherman. A devoted family man, he leaves behind many wonderful memories for his family to cherish. Nick was a loving father to his daughter, Carol Hicks (Duane) of Charters Settlement and son, Tony Matush (Evelyn) of Fredericton and was a much loved grandfather to his four grandchildren, Nicole Arbeau (Kirby), Shane Hicks (Terri), Tyler Hicks (Krista White) and Cory Matush (Jessica Middleton). His great-grandchildren, Victoria, Chloe, Kyle, Jared, Maddie, Zane and Nate were always dear to his heart. He also leaves a number of nieces, nephews and cousins. Nick was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
