PAPP, Nicholas Steven Nick was born in 1924 in Hungary. He came to Canada in 1931 and lived in Supreme, Saskatchewan for a short time and then moved to Raleigh, Alberta.

They returned to Cowley in 1946 and then to Calgary in 1948 where he spent the next 16 years working for Calgary Transit. In 1964 Nick began working for CPR as a mechanic in the Alyth back shop where he remained until his retirement in 1989. He spent his retirement years doing what he loved; hunting and fishing. He especially looked forward to his west coast trips to go salmon fishing. Nick loved to visit, was quick with a joke, and always enjoyed drop-in company, whether it was for coffee or a sip of his “special wine” and homemade sausage. He was predeceased by his wife Joan in 2008 and daughter Sheila in 2016. He is fondly and lovingly remembered by his four sons, Reg (Ingrid), Brian (Cindy), Nick (Diane), and Michael (Susan); six grandchildren, Wayne, Dan (Jen), Christopher (Adele), Stephanie (Curtis), Mandy (Russ), and Steven; ten great-grandchildren, Kimberli, Brandon, Brittany, Jace, Victoria, Joshua, Ava, Lucy, Harper, and London; great-great-grandchild, Aleeah; as well as a number of great friends gathered along the way.
