Many happy memories of Nick who taught Ukrainian dancing to two generations of our family. Our families go back a long way, including his wife, Olga and parents. Due to ill health we cannot join you to bid Nick a fond farewell, but our thoughts are with you.

Christine: Your father was a wonderful caring man with a huge heart! Taking Ukrainian Dancing from him was a huge pleasure as he was exteremely patient and very encouraging! I often marvelled at his wonderful sense of humour and his dedication to the youth he worked with! Knowing him, has truly been an honour! Vichnaya Pamyat!

Dear Christine. I just want you to know that I was sad to hear about your father's passing, even though he lived a long life and left a lasting legacy on a generation that will always remember him for his work at the church and with CYMK I have many fond memories of both him and your mom - two wonderful role models who made a positive impact on so many of us who were privileged to know them. May he rest in peace - I'm sure he is relieved to be free from the many burdens of earthly existence, and is happy be reunited with your mother again. They will always have a warm place in my heart.

Christine, I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend your father's funeral. I now live in Virginia, and will not be able to travel there in time. I will always remember the great fun we had dancing with, and being taught by, your dad. He was a gentle, fun-loving, and very kind person. My mother, Stevie Yachimec, joins me in passing our most sincere condolences, and wishing you beautiful memories. With warmest regards, Joanne Lesya Yachimec Infantino
