Dearest Lillian and all my Gurba cousins, It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Bill. My deepest condolences. My father (Robert Broda) and my grandmother, (and Bill's Auntie) Frances Bezborodka shared with me many wonderful stories of Bill. Dad would regale me with stories of visiting Lucas and Pearl's farm and always playing with Bill, as he was the closest in age to my dad. My Baba told me many times that Bill was a "spitting image" of her father, Anton, of whom a picture does not exist. Every time she saw Bill, she said she immediately thought of her father, who passed in 1927. So for me, every time I would see Bill, I saw Anton, a patriarch of our family here in Canada and the little boy who would get into mischief with my dad on the farm! Much love, Brian
