May he rest in peace. My father was Bohdan's Godfather. Bobby would come visit us in New York and sit at the kitchen table seeking my dads advice accompanied with a few shots of whiskey. When my dad passed away, Bobby sorely missed him and their talks. And I will miss Bobby and his stories about my sister and Quebec. Віч ная пам'ять
