December 3, 1919 – March 2, 2015

Myron Pilip was born on the 3rd of December, 1919, in the village of Bucziv, Ukraine. In 1934 Myron immigrated to Edmonton with his family.  Myron was a naturally gifted person and an exceptional worker; even while in high school, he worked nights as a hotel supervisor.  Early in life Myron met Pearl to whom he was happily married for 65 years.  They settled in Victoria in 1942 where he worked as a welder for 28 years.  Myron was a very kind person, loved classical music and truly adored the company of his friends, many of which were members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. After Pearl passed away in 2005, Myron married Mariya Pomircha in 2009 and this was another happy marriage. He will be missed by all, especially Mariya, and his best friends, Peter and Tina Shippen.  Myron was predeceased by his first wife Pearl and is survived by his sister Olga, niece Maryann, and nephews Myron and Michael.
