Together with his family he immigrated to the US from Uzbekistan at age 39 and did his best to adjust to a life in a new country and a new community. He supported his family as a commercial driver and loved cooking. He was a kind and generous man with a down to earth nature and light hearted approach to life.
He leaves behind his beloved children, their mother, along with grandchildren and an extended and loving circle of relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.
