Paul Krutiak Obituary
Paul was the beloved husband of Anita; devoted father of John (Lisa) Krutiak and Natalka Krutiak; and cherished grandfather of Nicholas Krutiak, who brought him immense joy. He was the dear brother of the late Bohdan (Marijka) Krutiak, and a fond uncle to Marko (Andrea) Krutiak and Petro (Larissa) Krutiak, as well as a loving great uncle to Damian, Taisa, Lucasyk, and Pylyp.
Deeply connected to his community, Paul was a long time member of Sts. Volodymyr & Olha Ukrainian Catholic Church. He dedicated many years to the Ukrainian Youth Association, where he served as band director, sang in the choir, and enthusiastically participated in theatrical productions-roles that allowed him to share his love of culture, music, and tradition.
His memory will be treasured by family and friends across the United States and in Ukraine, all of whom will miss his steady presence, warm spirit, and unwavering pride in his heritage.
