Nikolay, John J. (29
JUN 1951 - 20 JUL 2013)
John James (Jim) "Nik" Nikolay age 62, of Owen,
died peacefully in his home on Saturday, July 20, 2013. A memorial service will
be held 2:00 pm Friday, July 26, 2013 at the Maurina Schilling Funeral Home in
Abbotsford. Pat Kelley will officiate. A visitation will be held from 12:30 pm
Friday until the time of services at the funeral home in Abbotsford. A reception

John was born
June 29, 1951 in Medford to John J. and Helen (Dravis) Nikolay of Abbotsford.
Jim graduated from Abbotsford High School in 1969. He spent a good portion of
his life as a bar-owner and enjoyed spending winters in Florida. He had a knack
for buying and selling, always searching particularly for unique items. Jim
loved motorcycles, dogs and his cat "Mouse."
Family and friends will
miss his entertaining personality and sense of humor the most. He kept them
laughing with his story-telling, jokes and impersonations. He met people easily
wherever he went and you'd know whenever he walked into a room, you were going
to have a good time. Jim was a singer and dancer and a women romancer. He loved
to fish for Muskie and shared his favorite spot on the Black River with family.
Jim is preceded in death by his sister; Kate and his dad; Jack.
Jim
is survived by his mom; Helen, brothers; Dave and friend Nancy, Paul and wife
Karen, all of Abbotsford, sisters; Sharol (Bill) Lehnertz of Eden Prairie, MN,
Mary (John) Kelley of Green Bay, Kitty of LaCrosse and extended family. Love and
Prayers and Thank You for being in Jim's life.
