Bohdan will be sadly missed by his true love and partner of 32 years, Carol Anne Barker. Left to grieve is his sister Lesia Esposito. Lesia has three sons, Robert (Stefanie), Daniel, Christopher, and her husband Orlando. Cousin Orest Stefaniw will be lost without him. He was predeceased by his beloved father Andrew Tymo (1986), and treasured mother Maria (2007). Bohdan attended Sisler High School and graduated in 1968. While there he played on the Sisler Spartans football team. He graduated from the University of Manitoba with a BSc in 1974 and a BComm (Hons) in 1976. While attending the University of Manitoba he worked for the City of Winnipeg to pay for tuition. He had wonderful experiences on "Ed Bakers Crew" working on boulevards, in parks and learning about landscaping. He really respected Ed because of his strong work ethic. He loved sports and played hockey and soccer with the Ukrainian Students Club. While playing hockey the team travelled to New Jersey to play against their Ukrainian team. This was quite the trip. During their stay they were treated like royalty. He started soccer early on and played with I.P.A.C., even made the newspaper blocking a shot from a Portuguese player. The newspaper articles were found after his passing. Bohdan also played soccer with Sokol and later was on the M.S.S.L. champion team - the Manitoba United. He enjoyed playing beside his buddy Gus Foster. Bohdan travelled across Europe after graduation with his dear friend Zenon Romaniuk. The adventures they experienced were still spoken of to this very day. They also went on downhill ski trips to Alberta, British Columbia and Montana. Cross country skiing was also a favourite. His last hockey team was the Blues (I.M.O.H.L. League) in 2007. A badly torn ligament ended hockey. Bohdan was very proud of his Ukrainian Heritage. Also, proud to be a North End guy. In 2009 while working on a roof he fell and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Most sports were out of the question. He loved his pets and taking very long walks with his beloved dog. He started work in the T2 section of Revenue Canada in 1980. Later he was a permanent fixture at Ann's Perogey Palace bringing him back to his North End Ukrainian roots. There did not seem to be anything that he could not do, from plumbing, building and landscaping. He would talk about electrical and other projects with his friend Wayne Ledwos until the early morning hours. Bohdan was an outstanding gourmet cook and baker. This was something that only a treasured few knew. He was also the most opinionated person you will ever meet. This was said with love.
