Condolences & Memories (43 entries)

• Remembering you Myron during this special time of the season. We would always see you before Christmas and enjoyed your news and stories. We shall never forget you! God Bless You Myron Heavy Hearts Barb and Doug - Posted by: Barbara and Doug Palmer (Friend ) on: Dec 17, 2015

• Personally, I don't know Myron. I don't even remember if I ever met him in person. Until I got a message that I will be meeting him finally in flesh - on November 25 - in a casket. I don't know Myron but seems I know 80% of who he is. Trish would always share with me how much her brother loves her, and her Mom. Trish would always happily share her dancing stints with Myron and the group. I have personally witnessed how Myron cares for Trish. On her 40th birthday, he sent Trish the lovely big fruit balloons that we, in the office greatly appreciated. They were beautifully arranged with Trish's favourite stuff toys. Myron was indeed a very sweet and a caring brother. Honestly, I was touched by his gesture...his selfless love for Trish. This is how much I know about Myron until I have witnessed and heard more about him, the remaining 20% was completely given - that he had touched a lot of people's hearts - that he had helped a lot of people who were in need - that he was indeed a great human being. God's plan for Myron has been laid down. God wanted him back where he actually belong - to heaven. His mission is done. Myron is indeed God's gift to many! - Posted by: Maria Caguicla (friend of Trish) on: Aug 15, 2014

• I met Myron through the store and was very grateful for him. He helped me with my medical issues and was very knowlegable. I always thought that I was there on a day that he wasn't working, so I was disappointed that he wasn't around. My condolences to his family and friends. He really was a selfless individual and I'm honoured to have made his acquaintance. - Posted by: Karen (Customer) on: Apr 15, 2014

• My sincere condolences to my good childhood friend Patricia. I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news of Myron's passing. I last saw Myron 28 years ago when I lived with the Borys family for a month before moving to Vancouver as a teenager. They were so lovely and took such good care of me. I have never forgotten Myron's warm personality and thoughtfulness. The world has lost a beautiful soul. - Posted by: Tanya Naimitova (Childhood Friend) on: Feb 28, 2014

• I often shopped in Myron's store and was drawn to his friendly nature as well as impressed by his wealth of knowledge. He took great care of my parents and their nutrition needs and I will forever be grateful for his compassionate nature. His time was too short and he will always be remembered with a smile. - Posted by: Carolyn Henrick (customer) on: Nov 30, 2013

• We only knew Myron for a short time through our very good friend, Frank Olthof. Even though it was only a short time, we both knew that Myron was an extremely generous and caring person. I later found out that my (Vern's) mother shopped at his store for supplements. He always helped her out. Our deepest condolences to family and friends. He was taken too soon. - Posted by: Vern & Maria Mravinec (Friends) on: Nov 27, 2013

• What to say about this man cannot be put into words as easy as you may think, he was a great man. I met Myron 14 years ago via my husband Kent, a dear friend to Myron! Myron would come over and I'd make dinner for all of us, always made a little more for Myron to take home or eat before he left lol, We'd have a few drinks, laugh and talk about everything and sometimes nothing. He always made us laugh one way or another. So many stories about good old Myron, way too many to tell here. His sister is right, Myron would do anything for anyone. All Myron ever wanted to do was help people, he wanted to make things easier for the people he cared about, he had a heart of gold and I am going to miss him dearly, it's been a big shock to us to know we will never see him again or hear him laugh or see him smile. Myron you will be remembered forever and always in our heart. We love you, see you in our dreams our friend.. Tam <3 - R.I.P. Myron xoxo - Posted by: Tammy (Wife to one of his best friends and dear friend of mine) on: Nov 27, 2013

• First of all I would like to send my deepest condolences to Myron's sister (Patricia) and family. When I heard of the news I was extremely shocked by the news ...I truly could not believe it was true, but unfortunately it was reality ...Myron was a good person he was caring and kind to the people around him. One thing that stands out for me is what a great Boss and friend he was to my brother TONY. Tony and Myron have known each other for over 20 years and Tony has been Myron's employee for that same amt of years. Myron was a great support to my bother ESP during some of the hard times when Tony needed understanding. His compassion towards my younger brother was greatly appreciated. Myron was a strong and caring individual. Some of the fun times was the time Myron joined Tony as a groomsman for his wedding. He attended many Ingrilli family functions from Mom and Dad 50th Anniversary to Tony's children’s birthday and christening. I know that our family saw Myron as a good friend to Tony and he will be greatly missed. He was taken too soon. In deepest Sympathy: Joe, Santina, Frank, Anna, Antoinette, Rosa and Tony and family - Posted by: Rose Ingrilli (Friend and sister to Tony ) on: Nov 27, 2013

• I had the pleasure to work for and with Myron a while ago, he knew his business and was very determined and dedicated to its success. I learned a lot while I was there and we had fun and pranked each other along the way. He truly cared about his clients, staying late or doing research after hours about what they needed wasn’t unusual for Myron. It was clear how much his family and friends meant to him and how much he meant to them. He had quiet way about him but when he accepted a challenge it was on, whether it was a card game or playing a game of pool after work. To his sister Patricia and family and friends, I’m sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Sandra Perez () on: Nov 25, 2013

• I was next door neighbors to Myron and Pat growing up. I went to elementary through high school with Myron and then we slowly went our own ways in life in our 20's. Myron was always a great friend who cared for the people around him and was a true GEM! We spent many years riding our bikes, going to Ukrainian dancing classes, enjoying summers and playing in the yard. I will miss our talks and goofing around when we got together to catchup. Thanks for being a great friend...Koach! - Posted by: Paul kochanski (buddy) on: Nov 25, 2013

• My brother Kent was friends with Myron and I was fortunate to have met him multiple times over the years. Myron was a wonderful young man and I am so sorry for your loss. Myron has been so supportive of my mom since her diagnosis. A life lost far too young. RIP Myron. You have touched many. - Posted by: Sheri Smyth (friend) on: Nov 25, 2013

• My deepest sympathies to Myron's family at this very difficult time. I got to know Myron when he was part of our adult Ukrainian dance group.

• Myron was one of the kindest and most gentle souls that I knew. I met Myron through common friends (Lance and Mike) a few years ago. It became tradition for the 3 of us to get together every year around Christmas to go out and enjoy playing pool and hanging out to just chat and catch up. May you find strength to help you through this difficult time and know that Myron truly made the difference on many people lives on so many levels. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Darryl Brambilla (Friend) on: Nov 23, 2013

• When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of '99 my husband and I went into Myron's store to tell him & Tony. The next thing I knew Myron was filling two huge paper bags full to the top with all kinds of remedies, teas and supplements and of course he wouldn't take a penny for any of it! Later when I had my first chemo, Ross went to the store to pick some things and Myron wanted to know what I liked? Ross told him I loved flowers, well before Ross got home a delivery had already arrived...a huge basket filled with beautiful lilies and attached to it a number of get well balloons and tucked into it all was an adorable, scruffy little bear. I loved that bear and of course named him Myron! I still have that little fellow nearly 15 years later. I was on the receiving end of Myron's kindness many times over the years. We shared many a laugh and often talked long after he shut the store doors for the day. I have many wonderful memories to cherish and funny stories to tell. You were one of kind Myron and we loved you. - Posted by: Cindy & Ross Sullivan (Friends) on: Nov 23, 2013

• Duane (my ex husband) and I met Myron through Frank Olthof, one of Duane's buddies. Well, meeting Myron was one of those guys you just couldn't forget! He was the epitomy of a true gentlemen, huge heart, tons of love to give, had any information to give out on health issues and when I learned of his very own health food store, I made the habit of frequenting as often as possible. Duane's Mom just happened to live right next door so that was easy as we visited his Mom Marcie Joyce a lot. Since 1995 when I met Duane, Frank Olthof became a huge part of our lives. Once meeting Myron at many of Franks parties which were held at Frank and Mel's house. Frank and Mel's wedding was very memorable. Duane was so preoccupied with his friends and Myron who was Mr. Sociable butterly, he just knew how to start a conversation and keep it going. He captured me many a time with his conversations. I looked forward to seeing Frank as I knew that Myron was usually in tow. Myron was single, available and hard to catch. Myron was a guest at our Wedding back in 2004 at our home in Vivian. Myron was a catch but I guess he just could be not be caught. I will treasure all of my very fond memories with Myron and most especially after Frank's wife Melanie had passed away and both Myron and I were pretty constant during Frank's grieving and the girls as well. I remember spending time especially with Dyllann who was I think 3 at the time, Dyllann and I were reading aloud and just having quite a time with Myron sitting and listening to us and there was just something in his eyes that said to me that he really enjoyed having our company. He couldn't get over how we two girls were carrying on and was quite taken aback by my interaction with Dyllann. I will treasure those memories forever. I remain single today after my divorce from Duane and am truly saddened at how such a beautiful person as Myron Borys could be gone just like that. Myron, you were way too young to leave this earth, I will miss you. Atleast I have about 15 years or so of very fond memories that you have left me with and I will treasure those forever.

• My grade 12 year book he wrote: "False friends are like fall leaves scattered everywhere, true friends are like diamonds precious and rare - You are a diamond" Over the years we met up for coffee, he travelled crazy distance to my wedding, he visited & sent a crazy amount of balloons, flowers for the birth of my 4 kids. He had a way of making every individual he met feel so valued. We dropped in on one another at places of work over the past 20 years. I considered him my most dearest of friends - we always managed to touch base with one another and it was as though no time had past since we last met. Coincidently, I dropped by the store a couple weeks ago and he wasn't there. He was a blessing to many people and an inspiration. Myron you were truly a diamond. I will miss you dearly♡ Christy - Posted by: CHRISTY Stewner-Kornaga (friend) on: Nov 23, 2013

• We can attest to Myron being very passionate about his business. Myron always made the time to advise his clientele, to make sure they understood the whys and wherefores concerning the products they purchased. Over the years we grew to love and respect Myron for his unending dedication and friendship. We will fondly remember Myron for the many hours spent in deep discussion concerning the, hmmm, let us just say the "changing world". Myron will be missed! Our prayers are with Patricia, family and Tony. "Time heals all wounds." God's peace be with you, guide you and give you strength, especially now and always. - Posted by: Gudrun, Bruno, Angie and, Bernie (Friends) on: Nov 23, 2013

• I will truly miss our long extended conversations at Canadian Nutrition Centre. Walking into the store, picked out what I wanted and after 45 minutes of catching up did the sale finally reach the cashier till. Seeing Myron in action help other customers was impressive. It didn't matter if they had a $1 item or $100 item he took the time to thoroughly educate people without being worried about the clock. I noticed most customers coming in were not just customers, they were long time customers who became friends, I was one of those lucky friends. Genuine through and through, I will miss you Myron.
