saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Nick, As a porter for CN for numerous years this gentleman has had the pleasure of traversing our great country literally thousands and thousands of times. I can only imagine the memories he must have made along the way. I remember how much he enjoyed the sport of wrestling, and how entertained he was by the antics of the stars of the sport, I accompanied him to AWA matches in the 70s, where he went berserk when the high flyers would take on Von Raske and Mad dog Vachon. Uncle Nick was also a fantastic maker of polskie ogorki, as well as many other preserves such as beets and tomatoes.His pickles were beyond epic. Uncle Nick was smart in the way of business and a very well read individual whose tax preparation abilities were unmatched and much appreciated by many a relative or friend. A welcome mainstay at Bencharski family gatherings Uncle nick will be missed by all members of his extensive family,,, may he rest in peace. - Posted by: Bryan Ledger (Nephew) on: Jan 06, 2016
