Valentin was an excellent cook, he even created a book of his best recipes for his family, that they will now cherish forever. He also loved history and wrote 7 books on the history of his hometown of Kharkov, USSR as well as the history of his family. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
Valentin is survived by his wife, Asya Markova; his daughter, Yelena (Yuliy) Gaft; his granddaughter, Marina (Michael) Blandford; and his great-granddaughter, Evelyn Blandford.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Lev Barats for the extraordinary care he has given to Valentin through the years.
