Very sad news indeed. We had agreed to meet up on my next trip to St.Petersburg to see some gun shops. His contributions will be missed. Lagopus.....

Deeply regret that Geno has died. Both enjoyed and learned from his posts.
Do have a tangible memory in the form of a mastodon ivory goose call that my Eastern Shore friends tell me is suitable for snow geese.
Regards, Tim

Not only was Geno a genuine outdoors-man, gun collector and hunter, he was the maker of exquisite duck and goose calls which he referred to as the 'Stradaveri' of calls. I have two of his calls made out of Mammoth Ivory and ebony that he made for me.
I always enjoyed corresponding with him and his various videos.
I will miss him.-Dick

What a shame, I enjoyed his posts as well. He will be missed and will be in our prayers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
May God Bless him and keep him.

Thank you Dave. With the help of Google Translate, it seems that Geno had a stroke either Thursday or Friday. The funeral was Sunday.
Geno is now with some of his friends, Bill Wise, John Mann and others. Geno was always very direct and honest. He held his ground on many issues. He always was full of fascinating stories and pictures. He certainly increased my knowlege and understanding in many ways.
My prayers for him and his family.

As far as I could tell; He was one of the best "Goodwill" ambassadors that Russia ever produced! I will also miss his posts.

What a loss! I appreciated his posts filled with knowledge and enthusiasm--a real zest for life and the outdoors.
Another marker to remind us we're not created for this world but for eternity.
Godspeed, Geno. I pray comfort for his family and friends.

This is very sad news indeed, he brought a different perspective to the forum, one that I very much enjoyed...not to mention the wealth of information that came along with it, he will be missed.
My prayers for him and his loved ones.

I hate to hear this, he was one of the posters on here I looked forward to reading most.
