I had known Boris for the last 15 years. Worked with him in two companies(Actuate and FrontRange Solutions) together in the same group. He was a talented Engineer and very thorough in his work.
We had some memorable conversations about Elections, Government, Investing, etc. We exchanged emails last fall when we were supposes to meet in a ex-company get-together.
My heart-felt condolences to his family, especially to his young son.
My dear friend, Boris. May you rest in peace.
