Orest Lubamyr Pelech

Mary Kay - I loved talking to Orest about Russia, and he always tolerated my pedestrian references to Boris Pasternak's masterpiece. The two of you offering your culinary adventures were true learning experiences for Tim, Amy, Lee and me, too. Many times he and I would chat over the fence about oligarchs' untimely deaths from polonium or ricin and he'd often say with a knowing smile, "..we've seen this before, Comrade." Always left me in stitches. We will all miss him very much..
