1 year went by since you left us Wladi. We miss you so much,but we know that you are a free spirit now, and at peace..
. ... Just returned from a visit to where your resting place is. The balloon with our personal thoughts for you went up in the air, and the roses floated away .........the sun looked down on us....."It's all good" like you would have said....your loving family Pap, Mom, Irene, Debbie, Lauren, Vanessa and Dave.

Words cannot express the sorrow I felt when I realized Wladamir (Loddy) had passed away. I only knew him for a short time but during that time he made quite an impression on me. I've never met anyone with so much compassion for humanity and his family. This man would bend over backwards for a perfect stranger just to help him out even at the menial of tasks. I am so sorry to hear about his passing he will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace; my heart goes out to his close friends and relatives, especially Irene, Debbie and his loving Parents.

Dear Wladi, you will be always remembered with love! We 'll miss you! Calmer-family Amsterdam

Dear family, I met Wlad during my 6 month stay in BC. He made an amazing impression on me as a friend. Wlad embodied the welcoming and obliging nature of Canadians (despite of his Dutch heritage). It truly saddens me that people like Wlad leave us at young age. 

I wens jullie als familie alle sterkte met het verwerken van dit verdriet.

I can't believe you are gone. You always had a good word to say and our chit chats will be missed. Glad I ran into you at the Surrey branch  a couple months ago and we had what was to be our last information session!

You know you meet someone in life, that is different and unique above the rest. Wladimir was one of those guys. With a love for the elderly to dusting the knees off of Adam and Matt in the early years of our 10.5 years together. We thank mom and dad for the gracious life lessons that made Wlad the man he was. Compassionate, helpful, kind, caring and a great stepfather, and a lover of animals, music and fixing things. With an infectious smile and a laugh everyday, we will deeply miss you, and are saddened to realize you are gone. You will live in our hearts and memories forever.

Thanks for all the good times and advise, at the shop, and at home. Your humor will be missed and you will leave a hole in all of our hearts. Thanks for all the hours of confiding, and fellowship, it kept me on the tracks. I am sure you would want us all to carry on even with out you. It's a rough patch for all of us. We will over come my friend,  thanks for the good times and laughter and always being there for us.

RIP Wlad, I will miss running into you around town, you were a good man with an amazing personality! condolences to your family my friend.

I can't even begin to understand this. I had so many fun times with Loddy, he put up with my singing and was always laughing and smiling like he was going burst. I am so sad for his family and friends who loved him. RIP my friend, until we meet again.

Loddy, was in many of my school classes. When I would think of him over the years he was just one of those good people you meet, always ready to laugh.

Loddy will always be held very dear in many hearts who attended William Watson Elem. with him, mine included. Lots of wonderful memories racing through my mind. My deepest sympathy for his family, he was a treasure.

So sad to hear this news. I will always remember the singing and playing of guitar... Will always think of you.

Vlad was a good friend, always smiling, always loving and kind. He will be remembered with love.

You will be missed my friend...you gave the best hugs and always had the biggest smile...many memories, laughs and tears over the years..I will never forget you.
