Pete and Kristina:
I'm so sorry to read about your father's passing. You are in my thoughts these next days. Your father is one of the kindest people I ever met. He sold me hundreds of pieces of candy from the store when I was a child. My prayers are with your family.

It is with great sadness that the Demianiw family extends our deepest sympathy for your loss, Kristine, Peter, all family members and friends. Uncle Joe will be dearly missed by all, as he was always the life of every family gathering that our family (Kalesnykas) ever attended. Our last meeting was way too long ago, in 1994, when he met my own family. He was very welcoming and always a generous host.
I will always have treasured memories of that fishing trip where we spent time at a cottage in South Dakota. I don't think I ever stopped laughing. Uncle Joe was quite the jokester!
All our love,
Irene Kalesnykas-Demianiw

It is with profound sorrow that we send our sincerest condolences to Kristina, Peter, their families, and friends. He shall be missed, but we will never forget his kind, generous, and friendly spirit. He always brought us happiness with his ever-present, glowing smile when he and his family came to visit us in Canada. He was an easy-going man and always "up" for an adventure. My "Uncle Joe" was great fun to be with!
With all of our love,
Iraida and Rimas Kalesnykas
