Allan Milligan & Manfred Krettek
The members of the North Shore Fish and Game Club are deeply saddened by the passing of two long time club members, Allan Milligan and Manfred Krettek.
Allan Milligan
Allan was one of the early members of the North Shore Fish and Game Club, joining soon after the Club’s founding, serving as President in 1970-71. Beyond his involvement with the Club, Allan also served as Trails Manager at Maplewood Flats. In recognition of his exceptional service to the community, Allan received a Special Recognition Award from North Shore Community Services.
On behalf of all members, past and present, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, including Laurie, his son and NSF&G club member. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
Manfred Krettek
Manfred came to Canada in the early 70s from Czechoslovakia, settling first in Toronto and later in Vancouver. He was a furniture maker by trade, an ardent fisherman (both salt and freshwater) a great chef, bread maker and accomplished artist. His friends were shocked by his sudden passing.
Manfred leaves behind his loving wife, Olga, as well as a daughter, Christine. He had many friends in the club and will be missed. Unfortunately I could not find a picture of Manfred but the picture below is an example of his artwork, courtesy of Derek and Linda Hardy.
