Life’s greatest gifts, like the fleeting golden shimmer of the morning sunrise, are but passing moments in our lives to be cherished and memorialized with our heart and soul.
Our dear friend Roman Leon Bejnar passed away in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 26th, 2019 at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, where he had previously taken many patients in need of help as a Medevac pilot.
In lieu of a funeral ceremony and with the help of Roman’s friends, a self-perpetuating memorial fund in Roman's name will be initiated that will allow one helicopter student pilot each year to receive a small but meaningful sum to help with educational costs.
Please join us in celebrating Roman’s life on August 25th, 2019 at the Cordova Bay Golf Course – Bill Mattick’s Restaurant, from 2 to 5 pm. Please RSVP to Roman.COL@yahoo.com with your attendance confirmation.
