Orest, we wish to express our deepest condolences for the loss of your father. Zenon and I worked together for over 40 years at Westinghouse and Elettra.Many good memories come to mind. Zenon was very dedicated to his work and excelled at it. He was instrumental in helping the start-up of Elettra. Zenon was a gentleman and a kind and caring person. I am sure he will be missed by all.

So very, very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He had such a strong work ethic and God bless him for working so long. Your mom and dad were the best neighbours my mom and dad had for 50 years. We will always have wonderful memories of life on Blenheim Drive - it was a great place to grow up. I miss all of your mom's wonderful cooking, especially the borscht. We lost mom in Sept./15. The neighbourhood certainly changed once your parents and my mom moved away. Will be thinking of all of you on Wednesday. Again, our sincerest condolences from the Moran family.

Orest, your father will always be an remembered as an example of what an outstanding father and gentleman should be. He was always kind and generous; his values and standards were beyond reproach. It saddens me he is no longer among us, but from his hands the torch is now passed. Josie and I send our most heartfelt condolences. Virtus et Scientia, Semper Paratus. Robert and Josie Marini
