My deepest condolences to wife Olya, son Misho, brother Vlodko and the rest of the immediate family. When I think of Yarko, memories of Plast flood my mind. Yarko was the ULTIMATE Plastun: an honest, dedicated, perfect role model for all of us. Yarko would light up a room with his sunny smile and luminous disposition. His sense of humor was unparalleled!! Yarko ALWAYS had a captive audience - a conversation with him would leave everyone laughing uproariously. Yarko had a very special propensity for brightening up anyone’s day. He will be sorely missed, but his radiant spirit will be etched into the extraordinary memories of him that I will cherish forever. God Rest His Soul! Stefa Charczenko
