My Condolences to the Melnyk family. I too worked with Capt. Melnyk at station 7. He was an excellent Captain, always said it the way it was, never held back. He was respected by his crew and had a huge heart. Rest in peace Captain Melnyk.

We had some of the best camping trips together! When going out fishing, he always knew which hooks to use and where to go! Nick will be dearly missed. He was alway there to lend a helping hand!

My recall of Nick was my 1st officer at old #1. Nick helped and trained me to shift gears on the ladder truck. A few years later, Nick asked me to move a mercury fast back 429 engine. I still have it and the motor still runs! Good bye Nick, you will be remembered always. Thank you

Dear Madeline and family,

So sorry to find Nick's obituary in Sherwood Park News on Feb 8.
Previous appointment resulted in my inability to attend his Celebration of Life.  Was able to watch it on line later.  Very good historical tribute.
May LOVE surround you during this difficult time, as a new chapter begins in your lives.

Sincere Condolences,
Eleanor McLeod

Our sincere condolences to the Melnyk family on the loss of a husband, father and grandfather. I had the privilege of working with Nick as my Captain at Station 7. He was a wonderful person and firefighter. I will cherish my fond memories of him .

Thank you Uncle Nick for making my first bed.  I still have the book shelves you built in my apartment.  I was so scared when I touched your fresh paint in the garage but you did not stay angry with me very long.  You were such a great Uncle to me, as were your children.  
Blessing and peace.
Wade Screpnek

My most sincere condolences to Nick's family. I worked with him at #18 for a time and admired  his mechanical know-how and would love to have had a truck like his 3/4 ton with the options he added to it that weren't normally available at the time.

My thoughts are with Nick's family today. 
I work with Nick at Station 18, good mentor and Fire Captain.

Sorry To Hear The Passing Of Nick ...He Joined The Fire Department The Same Day Has My Dad And I Remember The Time He Disc Up Dad's Potatoes When Tommy Rented The Farm.At WEASEL CREEK...

My sincere condolences to  Nick's family.  I enjoyed working with Nick.  He got along with all the men very well and treated everybody like he would want to be treated. 
    Retired Capt.  Peter Dashkewich.

Dear Madeline & family Our thoughts & prayers go out to you & your family at this very sad time. May the wonderful memories of good times that you have shared with Nick, help you get through your sorrow 
Ron & Doreen
