Oleg: Two weeks ago I lost my best friend, MY FATHER. He was the most amazing and funniest man I known. He had the best sense of humor. Always made me and my friends
laugh. He was ALL GAS NO BRAKES type of guy!
If you knew him you know what I'm talking about. People say he was crazy. I agree. He was my crazy Dad! Always had fun.
Surfing was his life. He loved surfing so much that he traveled all over the world for it. He started Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic and he put Lincoln City, Oregon on the map
for the world to see!
You did an amazing job raising some kid from Ukraine (me) You showed me so much in life! You taught me to never take life too serious and try to have as much as fun as you
can because life is a short trip.
I guess I can say I had one of the coolest dads. He died doing what he loved the most, surfing. Now you can surf for eternity! THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE
DONE FOR ME! I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU!
