Predeceased by brother Andrij (2012), sister Halyna (2014), nieces Christina Plischewski (2009), Sonia (2014), and Brother-in-law Taras Rohatynsky (2018). After the horrors of WWII, Ivan lived in Santiago, Chile, and Argentina. Ivan came to Canada in 1957, where he found employment cutting bread, and delivering milk and donuts. In 1963, Ivan worked until retirement in 1994 with Ford Motor Company in Oakville. After retiring, he worked another 15 years with Avis/Budget. Ivan loved to sing. He was encouraged by his brother Andrij to join first the Prometheus, then Burlaka Male Choirs. Even during his last years, Ivan could be heard singing in Spanish, Ukrainian, or Polish.
