Update: 20080607 Letter from Jim Guthrie received via Dennis Knudtson
About one week ago Rachid Usmanov was taking the train from Usinsk to Pechora and he died of a heart attack in Pechora. Very sudden and quick. KAO colleagues will all remember what a great and patient and helpful IT professional he was, he got us through some tough times in those early days. He worked for me at KAO and SeverTEK both and I admired him both as a good kind person and a dedicated and very talented employee.
Yesterday Andrei Zhitlukin died from complications in surgery, I believe he had cancer of the liver. Not all KAO employees would know him as he was a lawyer hired after most of the Canadians were gone. He worked for me in SeverTEK and he attended both the Canadian and Russia reunions in 2005 and 2007 and as everyone remembers, he was the life of the party. He played the guitar, sang all the great Russian songs, and dressed like he was born in High River, Alberta. As you know, I called him Andy Lukin due to this penchant he had for dressing like a cowboy.
I will miss both of these men, they were good friends and great colleagues.
Regards, Jim
