So sorry to hear of Nestor's passing. I recall fondly the many years we worked together as deacons and later when he was ordained into the priesthood. I enjoyed his company tremendously as he always had a kind word and would always be willing to share. May his memory be eternal. - Posted by: Rev. Deacon Nicholas Kohuch (Friend) on: Dec 29, 2013
