Sadly I met Uncle Phil only a few times. My Mother's memories of him were always of Love. As I search for as much of the Drabik, Halychuk Family history, I cannot help but wonder the stories and memorable events Phil would have provided. If any other family member reads this, please contact me and help me connect the dots. My Mother Janet has since passed away, October 10, 2013 and this past weekend Aunt Helen Feb. 15 2015. Welcome into the arms of your waiting family and may you all rest in peace and joy and laughter. Cathy - Posted by: Catherine McDonough (niece through his sister Janet) on: Feb 17, 2015
