A few of us will be attending the 7:30 service on Monday, July 18 PM, after which we will be going out for a drink in his honor, in the neighborhood.

Please spread the word to anyone you know that knew him especially, it would be nice to hear a good story about our friend.

My Respects go out to this young man and his family who must miss this fellow very deeply. I am a fairly new student to the school and only have seen Bohdan in the passing. What I do remember about him is that he would smile at me and say hi to me in the passing when I saw him around school. I remember Bohdan's face very clearly and was very impressed when he had walked around school with his new orange belt. I didn't realize at the time when seeing him that he was only 20 going on 21. From the little I observed in the passing, Bohdan came to Krav Maga classes on a regular basis and stayed eagerly before and after classes to proceed with his study. THe imagery I will remember of him was once watching a yellow belt class(he was yellow belt at the time), and Kel was teaching him the "Moving forward with a full spin striking with leading hand"(punch), and some boxing techniques. I remember him being very patient and mature about the material. I find it very admirable for anyone to achieve a orange belt in Krav Maga. Bohdan where ever you are in this universe I wish you sound rest and peace, and I hope you are observing our classes from up above...keedah....2pin

Bohdan was a really nice guy. This is a major shock.
He will definitely be missed.
G-D bless you and your family. You will be in our prayers.
