From the moment he was born til his last breath - Vova was All love! Growing up he had many friends and enjoyed celebrating life every chance he had. A table full of delicious food accompanied by multiple bottles of vodka surrounded by loved ones was the perfect place to find Vova. He loved his family more than anything! There was no such thing as extended family. All his cousins were brothers and sisters to him. His mother was his life. His dad was his best friend. He was a genuinely loyal person. Even after immigrating to the United States, Vova still kept in touch with all of his friends who were separated from him and lived throughout the entire world. They never missed a beat and as if they still lived next door to one another. Vova’s favorite memories were from growing up in Belarus. He used to tell his kids you can get away with anything with the police in Bobruisk with the right bottle of vodka.. « вот это было Америка» His wife and kids were his pride and joy. He did everything and anything to make sure others felt his love.
