A "Great Uncle" in more ways than one. His home was always open to the family as was his heart & generocity. A true role model and very hard working man, he will always be remembered fondly and missed by everyone he touched. Vuyko was always there when you needed a helping hand. He was like my 2nd father in my adopted city of Toronto. Vichnaya Pamyat! Slawko & Christine Krisa (and Duke) Wilmington, Ohio
