Dear Haglof Family,

I was shocked to hear of Russ's passing, I just found out and couldn't beleive my ears. Russ and I were good friends in High School, we had some fun and crazy times together with Fred W., Mike S. and others.

Russ was always that person you could count on no matter what... He was an amazing person and I still think about him to this day (25 yrs later). I was blessed to have known Russ and he made me a better person. I will pray for his wife Ann; his mother and Russ's family during this difficult time.

With Love,
Lisa Rose

Dear Haglof Family,

I knew Russ when he was a classmate of mine at Ellis Brett School. I still have the class picture of Russell with his tie on, standing in the back row with a huge smile!
I always will remember him as a nice kid.
Our class reunion will be coming up on November 28th. and he will be missed.
God Bless You All in this very difficult time.
