Skokie couple who immigrated from Ukraine die hours apart after contracting coronavirus

A Skokie couple who immigrated decades ago from Ukraine to begin a new life together in America have died, just hours apart, both infected by the coronavirus.

Feliks Ogorodnik, 88, and his wife, Luiza, 84, died Saturday at Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview.

They came to the United States from Ukraine more than 20 years ago after one of their daughters met and fell in love with an American. Both became citizens and worked hard to learn English and experience the traditions and culture of their new home, the family said.

This is so sad - 8 names in one article. The transit system is obviously a vector and in these men's memory, I fervently pray that NYTransit rethink their essential services.
