John Vladimir Melnyk

We mourn the loss of a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. We share in our grief and we share in our tears, but please let us also share in our rejoicing.

Let's rejoice in the life of a hero, let us rejoice in his heart having no limits, and his spirit having no boundaries. Let us rejoice in his triumphs and rejoice in his unwavering strength. Today we say until we meet again to our hero as he returns to the arms of his mother, father and brother.

Johnny was the hero of a remarkable story and we rejoice in every chapter of his life. Johnny leaves behind his wife and best friend of 57 years, Rosemarie, his children Peter (Andrea), Joyce (Craig), Milan, Lida (Per) and William (Renee), 13 grandchildren and one great granddaughter.
