John Frykman (Bottineau HS ’63) passed away.
Message from Vern Sanden:  Minneapolis, MN
 
Hello Gary,

I’m forwarding the email I just received from my good friend Ben Borgen concerning the passing of our good friend John Frykman. This is very sad for us and for John’s and my good friend Bill Grimme. John will be sorely missed.

Subject: John Frykman Passed Away on 2/28/13…..
 
We ‘lost’ our dear friend John at 3:00 AM PST last night. Pat called Joyce this morning with the sad news. It had been a very rough week and John was ready ‘to let go’. A positive aspect was that the family was together during the last week plus. They had many important discussions and sharing of love and thoughts.
Â
Lindsey now plans to return to Botno next Thursday – 3/7 and Pat will probably fly home with her. We expect John to be cremated in CA. Pat has not determined any service plans at this time. I will keep you posted.
Â
Please share this note with other friends of John. Thanks.
Â
John was 67. Rest in peace, Friend……
 
John Frykman’s family was the owners of the Frykman dealership in Bottineau. John, Bill Grimme (’65) and Vern Sanden became very close friends when they attended UND in the 60’s.
 
The last time I saw John was when he was with Bill Grimme with the Dunseith reunion in May 2010.
 
Our condolences are with John’s wife Pat and all of his family with his passing.
 
Gary

EdnaMae’s reply
Go ahead.  It’s a few years old, but we still look pretty much the same.  Harvey grew up in southern California.  We live in Edmonds, WA.  Have been married 11 1/2 years.  My husband, Dave Olufson, died 1/5/2001.  Thanks, EdnaMae  
 
 
 
 
Reply from Natalie Darling Ulberg:  Minot, ND

Hi Gary!  Will you please just put my maiden name (Darling) as the name?  I have lots of Dunseith/Rolette/Thorne connections dating back to the early 1900’s if not earlier.  I don’t have time to go into early connections right now.  As is my paternal grandparents were Jim and Mabel (Peterson) Darling of Rolette and my maternal grandparents were Victor and Amy (Almquist) Tyson of Bottineau. 

I lived in Dunseith for a couple years in the early 1980’s and worked at Security State Bank while living there.

Gary and Friends,

         Swen ran into Ole in the mall on Valentines Day and asked him
what he got for Lena.  Ole said,  “She told me she wanted something with
lots of diamonds in it so I bought her a deck of cards.”
