Dear Sally and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of working with Russell at CHA. He will be sadly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My brother has been Russell's neighbor for decades but I only really got to know Russell when he did some work on my porch last year. He made a such an impression on me in those few days. He was kind, easy to be around and what I would call...."the salt of the earth." They don't make them like that anymore! At my church this past weekend I asked the congregation to pray for his soul to rest in peace. My deepest sympathies go out to all his family.
