Bohdan IWACHIW Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Bohdan (Bo) Iwachiw on July 27, 2020 at the age of 66 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Beloved husband of Lesia. Cherished father of Alexa and Christine. Loving son of Stefania and the late Bohdan. Dear brother-in-law of Irene and Art Ross, loved uncle of Chelsea, Connor and Jacob. Caring godfather of Nicholas and Zachary. Bo was active in several organizations including UYA and Holy Spirit Church. Bo loved attending auctions and garage sales always looking for that special treasure. He worked for CAA and as a locksmith in Burlington. He was a beloved friend to many and never turned down anyone who asked for help. He was a loving father and husband and loyal, devoted son. He never passed up a social occasion and was often the last to leave. Bo, we can't imagine life without you, but the life you gave us was made so rich because of you.

Lesia, Christine and Alexa, I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and father. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bo always had a unique perspective. When my oldest son was a young boy, he sat beside Bo on the sofa to share his artwork. Bo was very attentive paying close attention to what my son had drawn and had to say about his drawing. Bo asked him questions about the drawing and said that "you never know, this may be a great invention of one day".
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort and strength from family and friends during this time of sorrow.
