It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Bill (Vas) Cord on October 10, 2024. Bill passed away early Thursday morning. He just celebrated his 93rd birthday and had just started his 71st year of marriage. “Vas”, as he was known by many of his friends, loved music. He played accordion and sang in choirs for many years. Mom always said he was a very good dancer. He enjoyed a good laugh and being with others who did too. He loved the camaraderie of working at the bar at the Kyiv Pavilion during Caravan. Camping and later, going to the cottage in Hawkestone, were times that he enjoyed most, especially with his family. Even when his health declined, Dad still took joy from hearing about us, his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Bill leaves behind his loving wife Irene (Uhryn). A wonderful father of Bill (Christine), Terry (Irene), Andrea, and Nadya (Roman). He cherished his grandchildren. Loving grandfather of Elias (Andree), Adrian (Katherine), Alexandra (Jared), Alexander (Kate), Max (Nada), Ivanka (Mash), Cassandra, Thaddeus, Sonya and Claudia. Very proud Pradido (Great Grandfather) of Cameron, Rose, Rory, Otis and Boston. He was a great man, and we will all sadly miss him but never forget him. Вічная пам'ять.
