Andrei I. Bazdyrev

Andrei was a very dear friend to us. Although we lived at the same sity back in Siberia more so across the street from each other we met Andrei only at a time we came to America. He played a big part in the chain of events that brought us here. By meeting Frank, who called Andrei his Russian son, and introducing him to Siberia and the young children's theater studio from Novosibirsk, he sealed our fate.
We are forever grateful to Andrei not only for introducing us to Frank, but for the...

Stephanie and all of Andrei's family and friends- Mark Knopfler never sounded so good. I will miss Andrei and hope that in his power you can find strength to live life to it's fullest. I will always remember Andrei.

We are from the same city in Siberia where Andrei grew up and it has been a privelege to call him a friend! None of us were ready for him to go. Rest in peace, Andrei.

Andrei was an amazing human being. All of us who knew him were very, very lucky.

Steph and Juliana,

My heart is with both of you during this very difficult time. Andrei was an amazing person, I'm thankful to have had the experience of knowing him and honored to have called him my friend.

The world has lost a beautiful person that was and continues to be a huge inspiration to me. Andrei is thought about every minute and missed deeply. Lots of love to Steph and Juliana always.
