A Leader in the Ukrainian Community, Ihor Moroz, passed away surrounded by his family at Kenmore Mercy Hospital, on April 6, 2022, at the age of 77.

Ihor was the beloved husband of Christine (nee Bula); devoted father of Ulana (Andre) Moroz Senenko, Stefan Moroz, and Adrianna (Michael) Liddell; loving grandfather of Kateryna and Roxana Senenko, Deanna and Damian Liddell, and dearest brother of the late Zirka Moroz.

Ihor was born on January 3, 1945 in Austria to Ukrainian freedom fighters Bohdan and Kateryna (née Kostiw) Moroz. After emigrating to New York City, the Moroz family settled in Buffalo, where Ihor graduated from East High and went on to earn his Bachelor of Science Degree from the University at Buffalo.

Ihor and his future wife Christine Bula grew up together as active members of the Ukrainian Youth Association, Ukrainian Home Dnipro, and St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church. They spent their childhood and adulthood summers at the Ukrainian camp "Cholodnyj Yar" in Fillmore, NY. Ihor also served on leadership committees for the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, the Organization of the Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine, and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

Whether with fellow Ukrainians, his coworkers at General Motors, or during his career as a real estate agent, he built a community of friends and colleagues with whom he could both socialize and discuss the world's politics.

Ihor will be remembered for his love of adventure, which led to an active, athletic, and travel-filled life with his wife, whom he cherished, and three children, for whom he had immense pride. Even as he fought Alzheimer's, Ihor's love for his family never faltered and their devotion to him grew stronger.

Ihor will be celebrated for spending his life serving his family, his community, and his beloved Ukraine. His legacy of service and hard work lives on in his children and grandchildren.

Vichnaya Pamyat, May His Memory Be Eternal.
