Dear Bill, Sonia, and family, Fred and I send our heartfelt condolences at this very sad time. It's always difficult to say goodbye to a beloved parent, no matter the circumstance. It's comforting to believe that he is on his way to heaven, where the promise of eternal life and light motivates us all to be the best we can be.

Dear Dobrodika Maria, Bill, Sonia and family - Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of O. Fedir. He has been an important figure in my life since I was a child. I still cherish the little prayer book he gave me when I was 8 or 9. His booming beautiful voice will always ring in my memory, and take me back to cherished times when he served at St. Vladimir's in Hamilton when my late father, blessed memory Makar Sushko, was choir director. May the Lord keep O. Fedir safely in His loving arms, and may his memory be eternal! And may He comfort you during this difficult time of loss. Vichnaya Pamyat'!
