Although not well acquainted, I am nevertheless saddened to read about Melvin’s passing. Our paternal predecessors originally hailed from the same village area in western Ukraine, settled in the same Manitoba Interlake environs, and their commonalities included some intermarriage between at least one arm of each of the Dudych and Huzyk family trees. I can only recall meeting Melvin and Jack once in the late 1950’s, when they visited our Vancouver home with their father Steven.
My condolences to the family, and a prayer that his soul is at peace, if not hiking or climbing at great altitude. May you treasure many happy memories to help sustain you in your bereavement.
