Dear Bilyk Family,
It is with great saddness and sorrow we send this message to you.
Mr. Bilyk and dad Bill Kalynchuk were special friends. The stories they used to tell about playing ball and their childhood holds dear to our hearts.
I am sure they are back to all their fun, playing ball in heaven.
Mr. Bilyk played for our wedding in 1967.
With Prayers, Love, Sympathy & Wonderful Memories we send our condolences.
God's blessings to all!

Dear Bilyk Family,
I am very sorry and saddened to hear about Grampa Bilyk. he was always very fun to be around and gathering at his house for family holidays, and listening to his stories was always something to look forward to, (and the free bread for awhile too :)) I hope him and Baba are having fun up there

Dear Bilyk family...So sorry to hear about Mr. Bilyk passing. He ande his music will live on in your life forever. We heard stories from him about when he and my dad, Bill Kalynchuk were young, their fresh bread from Baba Kalynchuks outdoor oven which was right by the school and what a team they made when playing ball.
God Bless all of you.

Dear Joe, Evelyn, Ron, Allan and your families.
We are so saddened to hear of Uncle John passing. He was my favorite great uncle. We remember with fondness his tremendous smile, his kindness, his humor, his love of family and friends, the weddings he played at, and listening to him as he sang in the church choir.
Uncle John was a man of honor and one who will be remembered with tremendous fondness by all who had the priviledge of knowing him.
With much love and our very deepest condolences to you and your families. Joyce Golka (nee Zowtuk)and Family, Charlene, Joe and Cayden, Melinda, Mark, Isaiah and Ashton.

Dear Bilyk Family ;
It is with great sadness to hear the passing of John Bilyk. His contribution to the Ukrainian music has inspired many younger musicians. He was always a pleasure to talk with, and his humour will certainly be missed by those who knew him.

To the Entire Bilyk Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences with the loss of your Father. May God bless you all with strength to get through this difficult time. His passing leaves a gaping hole in our Ukrainian community.
May it bring you comfort to know that John made many people smile, laugh and dance when he played his fiddle. His legacy will live on through his family and musical recordings. The last time I spoke with John was at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village in August of 2010. It was a treat to watch him perform on stage and everyone enjoyed his music.

Sometimes the road of life may seem a bit bumpy: But it's just a small part of the great journey we are on. I enjoyed playing in a jam session a long time ago in Lamont @ a machinery dealership with John. Cherish fond memories of John, his great humour, he was so much fun to be with.
