Best wishes to you. Try to remember it's not how long you knew each other, but how well. You were like brothers, certainly. And may I suggest, you still are.

Vlad, it's nice to have you back, we missed you.

Tony was one of those very special people. You were fortunate to have spend so much time with him. See you in Florida. The pool is open. :

The story of the chase to Nantucket reminds me how often I'd check my phone and the countless times "the cousins" tracks were neck and neck across the digital map. It was always fun to see where they were headed.

Thanks Vlad.

Although Tony is no longer with us, fond memories are forever in everyone's heart. I am looking forward to reading the first flight of his RV8. It will soar with his spirit in it.

Good stuff Vlad!

One of the first things Tony asked me after you arrived here, was if I had any friends in the Halifax tower that would do me a favor. He said his cousin busted the airspace on the way in and I might need to bail him out. He didn't let you get away with much did he?

It was not hard to tell how close you two were and to lose a friend like that leaves a pretty big hole in your life.

Take care of yourself my friend.
