I'll miss you Russ. I loved your great sense of humor and your positive outlook on life. Thinking of you always makes me smile. I will value your friendship and am grateful that God had our paths cross in life. I still see you across the street working in the garage doing woodworking. I thank God for everything you brought in my life. Looking forward to seeing you in Heaven. :)

In the little over a year that I knew Russell, he became a good friend and confidant. I'll miss our coffee outings and I'll always remember him.
My deepest condolences to the family
