STUKOV, PAVEL S. 1938-2014 Pavel S. Stukov, age 75, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 8th, with his loving family by his side. He was born in Krasnouralsk, Russia on December 20, 1938. Sixty years later, in 1998, he and his wife became residents of Albuquerque, NM. Mr. Stukov worked as a commercial airline pilot for many years. In retirement, he worked as a tour guide at ancient historical sites in Russia, and also for a time as an insurance broker. An avid photographer, he enjoyed making photo albums for his family and friends. Pavel dedicated his life to his family and friends and will forever be an inspiration to all he touched with his kindness. His love and compassion for his loved ones and for people around him will be carried on in all of our hearts. He and his great sense of humor will be missed by all. Mr. Stukov is survived by his wife, Tamara Stukova, to whom he was happily married for 52 years. He is also survived by his daughter Natalya Stukova; his son Igor Stukov and wife Elmira; and his two grandsons Alexander Stukov & Timur Stukov.
