Nick's grandfather, Yakiw (Jacob) Yarmoloy was one of the early homesteaders in the Mundare area arriving from Galicia with his wife Warwara (Barbara), sons John and Mike at Halifax in June 1900. Daughter Sophie was born in Alberta. They were a successful hardworking Ukrainian immigrant family. Nick and Mary enjoyed their many years on the farm; Nick was especially proud of his service with the RCMP. The “city” relatives enjoyed visiting at the “farm” and learning about farm animals, bountiful gardens and wonderful food. The family thanks the staff at Heritage House for taking care of Nick. Cremation has taken place and no service will be held as Nick's request.
