I'm at a loss. My logic and faith allows me to happy Vlad has transitioned. I found the obituary by accident. I spoke with Vlad briefly before his transition.

What I have learned from Vlad can not be recounted without the most sincerest expressions of love. Love for truthfulness and accountability. I am indebted to Vlad. May the Creator bless him and his true friends and family.

In the process of our lives, we are to live to the best of our ability using our gifts to benefit not only ourselves but those that surround our life. Vladimir, not only was he known for giving his all, he gave it with thoughtfulness, and honor. In the process of giving his all, he did it with respect, and confidence. He always put other before himself, he was honest, pleasant, friendly, and in all that he did it with the gentleness of his Maker.
I had the utmost respect for him and shall miss him greatly.
He now has entered the Portal into God's presence with a statement from the Master Himself of "WELCOME HOME AND WELL DONE MY FAITHFUL SON"
My family's prayers accompany this tribute.

"Unbelievable" was a word that you said to me frequently. But you were truly unbelievable. You were a scholar, a gentleman, a wild and crazy guy, and most of all, a friend. Your kind smile and quirky personality will be deeply missed, and I find it hard to put my loss into words. You will be surely and "unbelievably" missed. Peace.

Vlad was always the consummate professional and the perfect gentleman. His eye always had a sparkle, and his smile would light up the room. He taught me a few words of Russian, and we always greeted each other in that language. I was proud that he considered me his friend. The one word I never wanted to say I now must say -- Do svidanya -- goodbye, my friend. Rest now.

Vlad, you touched our hearts in ways i cant begin to fathom, I truly feel blessed to have had you in my life, even for so short of a time.
Vlad "The Impaler" all of your friends and family will miss you greatly, work will never be the same.
Go in Peace my friend, you are loved,and will always be in our hearts and minds

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family and friends. Vlad we will miss seeing your smiling face around the casino, you are greatly missed.

Best Wishes;
Your Point Family!!

To my friend Vlad...you are sorely missed each day I come to work. I keep hoping as I come around the corner I will see you standing proud at the table. The same games that brought our two lives together. I always admired your quest for knowledge about this new profession and looked forward to your daily "Robert, one question please".Your desire to become skilled at dealing is almost unparalled by any employee that I have worked with in 27 years. For this, I thank you Vlad. You are an amazing individual to make the transition from Russia to US and become a member of our community. Little english, no employment, no friends but VLAD determination to make a go of it. As you once said to me "Robert, I am now professional dealer. Thank you very much." I don't know of too many who could've accomplished what you did. Bra'vo to you !!! We will keep your memory proud and laugh at times we shared with you. Nostrovia my friend...when we meet again I will bring the fishing poles.

Vlad was great coworker. Always willing to share experiences and learn new things. Will miss his accent and his smile. He will be greatly missed by me.

Vladimir was a dear member of The Point Casino family. He always had a smile to share with us all. It was truly a pleasure to know him and work with him. Our guests adored him as did the whole team. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. We will miss him greatly
