Dear Pani Shust, George, and Irka: Please accept my condolences. Pan Shust was such a warm and caring man whose love for his family and his community shone through everything he did. I would often bump into him on Bloor St. and he was always ready to chat. May memories of his smile and his gentleness give you and your family comfort.
