Condolences & Memories (19 entries)

• My deepest sympathies to Dan and Dave and family. Mr. Drewniak was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. He was a selfless human being who gave so much of himself to others. He was my teacher and a long time volunteer with the Sundown School of Ukrainian Dance which I was a part of for so many years. We did a 2 year student initiated project together. He did the toast to the bride at my wedding 26 years ago. I will miss him. Rest in Peace! - Posted by: Gale Burridge (Student/Friend) on: Aug 20, 2013
