TARAS (TERRY) MICHAEL MICHALISHYN It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Taras (Terry) Michael Michalishyn on Tuesday, June 15, 2004, at the age of 56. Taras was born on Saturday, September 13, 1947, in Winnipeg, and grew up in Narol, MB. Second youngest of a family of four brothers, and sisters, young Taras could always be found helping in the family garden or under the hood of a car with his brother Morris. After a brief career in Business Administration, he went on to receive his degree in Interior Design, and moved to Toronto where he gained employment in his chosen field. Never liking to sit still, Taras filled any spare time he had with numerous activities such as rowing, cross country skiing, biking and going for long walks with his dog Razor. He also gained a great friend in John Landry who passed away in 2003. Taras is survived by his mother Helen Michalishyn; sisters, Elsie Gillies and her husband Gordon, Marianne Shirtliff and her husband Daryl; and sister-in-law Rosiland Staple and her husband Brian. He also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews and many friends. Taras was predeceased by his father Peter Michalishyn; brother Morris Michalishyn; and friend John Landry.
