Valeri Pianykh

Galina, Igor and Oleg, My heart hurts to learn of Valeri's passing. I am very sorry for your loss. Galina, you and Valeri are true examples of love and kindness. I consider myself blessed to know your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My family and I are sorry to hear of Val´s passing. We saw him at the symphony just a month ago, wheeling a Pablo around, like he did day in a day out, giving him the best life. To Galina, Pablo, Oleg, and the many others who loved Val, he really was an example of humbleness and selflessness. I am thankful for the ongoing association with your family starting when I met you 28 years ago I was Pablo´s teacher. He was one of my very first and is still my very favorite student. Much love to you...

Galina, my heart is breaking for you in this most difficult time. I loved seeing and chatting with Val and Pablo on their daily walks. I´ve never seen such love and devotion to family. He will be remembered in friendship and kindness. Much love to you, your neighbor, Liz

Galina, Igor and Oleg, I worked with Val at Bard and later with BD. Val had a unique way to look past all the noise of a problem and point out what the root cause or what the critical items to look for. He was always a pleasure to work with. Scott Sanders

Jan and I have just become recent friends with Val, Galina and Pablo as we only moved to Park Place in early 2021. It was easy to become friends with Val given his welcoming smile and warm comforting voice. We first met Val and Pablo as we walked around Park Place and ran into he and Pablo on their usual walk. We always enjoyed our conversations with Val's vast knowledge of world events and cultures particularly in Ukraine and Russia. We will miss him very much. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Galina, Igor and Oleg. We are stunned and devastated to hear of Valera´s passing. We truly look up to Valera and will miss his quiet kindness and humor. In loving memory of a dear friend.

Galina, Pablo and Oleg - I am so sorry to hear that Valeri has passed. I know how much you will miss him, as will all of the people who knew and loved him. I always enjoyed running into him at various places, walking with Pablo and enjoying a cultural outing or a walk in the park. There was always a smile on his face and a friendly hello- he will be missed. My sympathies to your family - Kelly

I was lucky to become a friend of the Pianykh family a long time ago back in Moscow. Observing Valeri´s life, the main thing that I can say is that he lived the life of a saint. I cannot remember a single event when he was doing something for himself. Always serving. During the last several years, I was studying near-death experiences, and I am convinced that Valeri is now enjoying a happy time. Heavens receive him. The longer we treasure in our hearts and minds our best memories of this...
