 Accordions Worldwide would like to extend their sincere condolences to CIA Past President, Kevin Friedrich following the passing of his mother Valerie Friedrich (87 years) on December 15th, 2020 at their family home in Baylys Beach, Northland, New Zealand after a short (non Covid) illness.Valerie and her late husband Athol were keen supporters of not only Kevin Friedrich's many accordion activities which have made such an important contribution to the accordion world, but also to the many accordion, arts and music activities held in Dargaville over many decades. Despite her illness, Valerie Friedrich attended Kevin’s “Sounds of the Season” Christmas Concert at the Dargaville Museum Lighthouse Function Centre on November 22nd and enjoyed every minute of the concert. A service was held at the Lighthouse Function Centre on December 20th, where her life was celebrated, including with performances by Kevin and long time friend of the family Lionel Reekie (vocals/accordion). We extend our deepest sympathies to Kevin Friedrich and the large extended family of Valerie Friedrich. |
