Obituary

KULYK, Wasyl “Mykola” – passed away on Monday March 20th, 2018 in Fredericton, New Brunswick on his 94th year of life. Beloved husband to the late Eugenia (nee: Panas), Wasyl is survived by his daughter Halia with husband Keith, and his son Roman with wife Marusia, his brother Ivan with wife Francine, his sister Pawlina and his dear friend Mariya.  Wasyl was born in the small village of Rakowec in Western Ukraine, where he was one of 6 children.  After WWII he left his beloved Ukraine and immigrated to England where he met his future wife Eugenia.  At the behest of his brother Ivan, he found a new beginning in Canada in 1967, where he worked very hard to make a good life for his wife and children.
 
He was a staunch supporter of Ukrainian independence and was very proud that he lived to see the day this finally happened. Wasyl was also passionate about gardening and he enjoyed many summer days tending his vegetables.  He also enjoyed watching the hockey games on cold winter nights, as well as, playing chess and backgammon. He will be dearly missed by his family both here and abroad.   
In lieu of flowers, the family would like to kindly ask that you make a donation to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (www.ucc.ca) or to the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Holy Protection of the Monther of God, 30 Leeds Street (www.holyprotection.ca)

No one better than God, understands the depth of your pain and can help you cope with your disquieting thoughts. I hope that in due time your family receives God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. Undeniably he cares for us and would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture I like is Psalm 34:18 which reads: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” He promised that in the Paradise, we will have the prospect of enjoying life without end, free from all problems, accidents, and sickness. Even our loved ones like Mykola will be resurrected. (Psalm 37:9, 29; John 5:28, 29) With all my sympathy for the loss of someone so cherished.
