My deepest condolences to the Melnyk family. Mr Melnyk was my school bus driver and neighbor for many years. Mr Melnyk was absolutely a proud Ukrainian - during my visits to the Melnyk's (Corrie) I was introduced to many Ukrainian traditions and memories that I will always think of with fondness. Wishing you all strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Our sincerest condolences to Lina and her beautiful children on the loss of a great man (Maurice). Growing up as neighbors our families shared many good times. Maurice was a strong person and a great baseball player at our Slawna School #1624. We walked to school most days but Maurice would be so proud to ride his brand new bike and when he passed us he would ring that bell on his bike, smile, and wave. Maurice loved to dance and just have a great time wherever he was. Bill & I will miss all the good times we had visiting each other. We were so proud to have him as Kristin's and Leanne's school bus driver. Rest In Peace our dear friend. You will be missed.

Our condolences to you Lina & your family. Maurice was a neighbour, friend and best darn bus driver in the southeast! A humble man who was proud of his roots and not afraid to show it.

Condolences to the family. I got to meet Maurice in the 1970's when I worked at the Steinbach Bakery. Maurice delivered flour there and he carried each 50 lb bag in one at a time over one shoulder. I was always impressed with how strong he was. And always cheerful. I remember him as a decent and kind man. May your many good memories support you in your grief.
