We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ekki. I seems like yesterday we were dancing at Matthew and Allison's wedding and enjoying the sights of San Diego with Ekki and Zorka. He was a very special person and we will truly miss him. Tom and I extend our deepest sympathy.

Zorka: It is with extreme sadness that I learn of Ekki's passing. I am so sorry that I did not spend more time with the both of you whenever I was able to get away to Toronto. You have always been in my mind and heart. May Ekki rest in peace and may you find the strength to get through this trying time. Christine

Dear Zorka and Kevin, Our thoughts are with you. Ekki was such a lovely man, and your family was always so good to me. I have very fond memories of your beautiful home in Toronto, of your warmth and welcoming to me when I lived in Toronto, and of the lovely visit we enjoyed on the South shore of Nova Scotia. We love you.
