Rest in Peace Mr. Nykoruk. I always think of you and Elsie when I am in Hawaii. My Mom and Dad speak of you two often - thanks for being such good friends. Elsie you are in all of our thoughts- Janice - Posted by: Janice Maslanko (daughter of Margaret and Bill Maslanko) on: Feb 13, 2012

In the early '80's Greg invited me to join he and Bill and Paul to make a foursome playing "doubles" at the Waikiki Banyan. Thus began a friendship both on the court and at the kitchen table sharing a "morning beer" after our hour-long workout. A gentle and kind man with a ready laugh and wonderful stories of his youth and experiences in the military and his beloved times at the lake. Ever eager to share his paintings with others he was humble and thankful for the skills that God bestowed on him. Life can take away your friends but never the memories of their friendship. Always in our prayers, thanking God for making it possible for our paths to cross. - Posted by: Carol and Jack Boham (Friend and "tennis mate") on: Feb 11, 2012
