ALEXANDER LIWYJ On Saturday, January 6, 2001 at Concordia, our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather Alex Liwyj passed away peacefully at 85 years of age. Alexander was predeceased in 1993 by his dear wife Natalia of 55 years. He lived alone in their family home on Aikins Street until December 24, 2000 when he was admitted to the hospital with declining health. He was born April 3, 1915 in Popiwka, Ukraine. The family was swept up with the German occupation and in 1947 found themselves in US occupied Germany. Alex lived in various areas of Germany and Belgium until immigrating to Canada in 1951.
