My sincere condolences to Bill's family. My paternal grandfather, Dmytro Karalash, lived next door to the Drewniak Family on Armstrong Avenue and, as a child, I used to play with Cynthia. Luba was my mom's hairstylist. I have many fond memories of everyone in your family. Vichnaya Pamyat. - Posted by: Darlene Karalash (Family Friend) on: Jan 15, 2026
