Having grown up in the cold war era (I remember hiding under my desk in grammer school) I can honestly say that my interaction with Geno here "tore down my wall". I always enjoyed his candor and honesty, he knew how to disagree with someone without insulting them, an art that seems to be getting scarce.
My hope is that our friend didn't suffer and that his family finds strength in the good words said about him.

Geno was a true gentleman and was always direct, on topic, and an informative contributor to this forum. He will be missed.

I enjoyed Geno's posts. Good guns good dogs and the love of hunting transcends distances, cultures and politics. God bless his family. God speed and good hunting Geno.

Another great enthusiast lost to us here.A wonderful gentle man who tore down barriers. Let us all pray for his loved ones, that they may remember him as we will. Forever. He hasn't gone, he's just waiting for us on the other side.

This is a rough translation from the link in the first post: Gennady died, writes his son. He died this morning. I only know that for many years he visited this resource and found it necessary to write here. If you have any questions,the funeral is on Sunday.

Very sad news. Geno's posts provided a window into the sporting life of a most intriguing land and culture that many of would have never known. I would love to learn more about the duck and goose calls he made.

I am sorry to hear about Gena.... He was definitely a "mans man". I am not so into doubles anymore and only come here a couple times a year. I was surprised to see that He had passed, and I still haven't gotten past this thread. Russ Ruppel is the one I remember telling him Gena was a girly name, and he should change it to Geno... Russ was pretty opinionated as you recall. I never quit calling him Gena, there was no girly in this man. I am hoping his children can take care of themselves by now. I think they would be young adults now, unless he had some more that I didn't know about.
This all gets me thinking about the ones we have lost from this board...... Larry Barnes, Bill Wise, Russ Ruppel, and John Mann ( I did not know he was gone until reading this thread) They can all discuss good guns now....

Shame to lose him. We don't hear much about hunting in Russia, and Geno was a real doublegun fan as well.

Very sad when I read the news. I suppose I'll never get the samples of Poleva slugs he said he would send. Here he is using his "plucking machine" with one of his setters supervising. My condolences to his family. He will be missed. JC

Hopefully some of the condolences here make their way back to his family.
I will add my own.
