Tribute to my best friend, Jake Butterfield (06/28/1973 to 09/19/2013)


 

YouTube video of Andrew presiding over his brother's wedding.

It is with, yet again, a heavy heart that I update my main page to reflect the loss of another dear friend, Andrew Bruyako. Andrew was my 'crazy Russian plumber brother' who, I am proud to say, was my good friend for over a decade. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your loved ones. I miss you and love you, Andrew.
Andrew passed after being involved in a motorcycle accident on August 7th, 2016 in Dublin, Ohio. RIP.



Hello to all the international folks I will never get to meet!   I see my site pop up in a lot of different forums and sites from all around the world, and I like it that the site and pics reach people I would never normally have a chance to help.   Here are some recent links (this isn't a complete listing at all!) from Google where a link to my site can be found...cool!! Oh, this doesn't count the people who contact me via email from Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Singapore and so on....
