I had fun communicating with him...Sad!

I feel for his family.He was always informative, original and he made duck calls to boot!

Geno, we hardly knew ye. Rest gently in the bosom of God.

I am very saddened to learn of Geno's passing. Over some years we shared private communications regarding his dogs and the pride he took in them and also the tremendous pride he had in his children. I admired his forthwright fashion on the board and his contributions to our knowledge of guns, dogs & hunting in Russia.
We are diminshed by his loss.

I once sent him a bottle of a product made for use on old losened chair rungs which he said was OK for hammer handles [that's what I use it for] but was worthless to try & swell shrunken dried out wood near a headstock. I wish I could recall his exact choice of words. He was curious, honest and oft quite humorous w/o intention .. a stand up guy.

My heartfelt condolence to his family.

That's very sad news. He brought a whole new and interesting dimension to the forum and will be sorely missed.

Sad news indeed.
He broadened my understanding of Russian Red Setters, ( old line setters unadulterated? from the time of "Glencar" grandson of "Palmerston"), some outstanding Russian guns and a vast knowledge of such, Vodka and how truly confusing the English language can be to non native speakers.
You will be missed.
Rest in Peace Geno.
My condolences to his family.

Gennadi and friend Duppel working "double snipe" in the environs of St. Petersburg.

And so once again we are reminded of one life's ultimate truths: Governments can and do suck. But people are generally good. RIP.

I will miss him, his posts & pictures & his English
He would help anyone if asked
cheers Geno
