Oleksa Bilaniuk (1926-2009)

I'd like to observe another virtual moment of silence in honor of Oleksa Bilaniuk, who passed away on Friday after a battle with brain cancer. He was the beloved father of Josh's brother's wife, Laada, and the grandfather of their two lovely girls (our nieces, Laska & Larissa) -- who are still dealing with the recent loss of Florrie, their great-grandmother. Our hearts go out to them and the entire Bilaniuk family.
