We are at a service symposium in PA which I am sure you would have loved. Scott and I were just talking about all the things you have missed and how different life would be if you were still here. You had a huge impact on why I stayed and get to be blessed with this life I have. I know Scott feels the same way. Sometimes, life seems really unfair, you are one of those reasons. But we move on and keep you with us in our heart and continue on to tell stories because that is how unforgettable you are. I wish we had you longer but grateful we had you when we did.

19 years, wow. Seems like forever. We´re happily back in California. Still think about you so much especially when we´re out somewhere we know you´d enjoy. We´re all getting old, lol. Gary had a baby girl, Margot, she´s beautiful. You´d be so proud of him. He´s a family man now. We miss you and wish you were here. You brought so much joy to our lives. All my love.

Missed your anniversary but was thinking about you on that day like so many others. Can´t believe it´s been 18 years since you left us. I think of you often and wonder what life would have been like had you still been in it. Great I imagine, and fun and full of adventure! Miss you, love you.

Once again, It's Spring in newengland and once again was on the golf course and Russell entered into my thoughts. I was playing with some people I did not know and when we were on the green, one guy marked his golf ball. He then put the golf ball into his mouth to clean it. I had never seen anybody else do that but by buddy Russ. :-)
Seeing photos of Gary Jane & Emmet are fantastic. I'm so happy for Gary and I know Russ would be so proud of his little boy.

Russ,
16 years without you. I think of you every day, many times. I think of the fun we had together. I think of you at the pool in Bakersfield, 106° out and you loved it. I remember the big bbq we had and we had so many laughs.
You always were the best story teller I ever met.
I remember you being late to catch a plane to Logan (I don´t think you were ever on time for a plane). You had to do laundry but the clothes were not dry in time. So, what did you do? You packed wet clothes! Typical Russell! Love you.
I´m glad I have so many amazing memories of you.
Love, Tra

Catherine and I miss you so much. We look at Gary and see what a good man he has become , that is you T, for being there for him and being with him and what about that kid huh? Emmet, just hope he will not be a Patriots fan . Anyway, i miss our times together at home, convention, golf course or even driving around all-night in your van doing your deliveries..lol

Hi Russ.
15 years. The memories I have of you will never fade. I’m so proud of your son Gary. Jane is an amazing mom to your grandson, Emmet Russell Thorpe. I know you are thrilled with the new baby!
He went to his very first Red Sox game yesterday!
I miss you so very much.
Love - Tra ❤❤❤

15 years now, seems time is measured by how long you've been gone. Missing you always and thinking of you now because Gary is married and had a beautiful baby boy Emmet, you would be so proud. You would love Jane, she is amazing. Emmet is the image of Gary, brings back so many memories of you and Gary. Sad you're missing all that love. You were such a great guy and a great brother. Till we meet again. xxooxxoo

Words cant express what Russ meant to me. We grew up in the same neighborhood, played baseball, football, and golf together. We worked together at Hartz mountain, Withams and a few golf courses. We traveled and partied together.we took a road trip to Atlantic city once and had just enough money (counting pennies)for tolls and a large bucket of KFC to get home. My last memory of Russ when he meet myself Don G.Don l and Ted B in Vegas.those guys went home me and Russ went to San Diego to see .y parents and then we went to Tijuana...cant believe we made it out alive.............
I can go on and on and on
Love ya big man ..miss ya
Final thoughts. He would be so proud of the great man Gary has become

I miss you so much it pains me and I want to cry now with joy reading how much you helped other people in NA. You really made a huge impact on so many people.
Wendy is right, you'd love the new house, with a pool. Oh, what fun we would have!
I still feel your presence and I know you are at peace up there in heaven. Golfing, visiting with friends, making people laugh. Harry the chihuahua is with you now. He will keep you busy! Hugs to you and give mum a hug for me.
Much love, Tra

Russ, always thinking of you. We just moved into a new house and how you would have loved it. Youre be laying in the sun by the pool everyday, just as you always did before. Been 13 years and I cant believe it, it seems so recent that we lost you. I miss you and think of you almost everyday, you were so much fun, you would go on all out shopping trips for the new house, and hang out and just have a blast. Love you forever.

Seems you two have ALOT in common! He has a kind heart just like you did. So until we are able to meet one day in a better place I will continue to enjoy the stories that Gary shares with me. xoxo ~Carissa

Dear Wendy and Tracie,
I wanted to send you my condolences in regards to your Mom and Russ. I was searching the web to see if I could find out some info about Russ and what he was up to, and I came apon this web site. I am so sad to hear that he has passed. He was one of the few best friends I've ever had. My head has been full of the many different things we did together from playing monopoly in the cellar of your house the whole summer of the fifth grade to us renting an apartment together in NH. I also remember one Xmas season that he told me that he had to give you guys I-owe-you's for xmas presents because he was out of money. Lot's of good memories for sure. If you feel up to it, and I understand if you don't, I would enjoy hearing about what Russ had been up to since he left Hartz Mountain. Thank you; sincerely Phil Cassidy. [email protected]

This post should have come out yesterday I don't know what happened to it. I opened up my calendar and it reminded me that today would have been 20 years clean. It made me so sad to think that you are not here anymore and we can't celebrate with you. You are still very missed by both Scott and myself. Not a lot of people make and impact on our lives like you did. You are a huge reason why both of us are still here today and why we stayed in the beginning. You had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. I know we used to disagree on some of those passionate subjects. :-) Thank you for always caring and always being there. I wish I could say this to your face but I hope when you left that you knew. You will be happy to know that your memory lives on in Western MA. We are bringing back the convention in 2012 and I know you would have love to seen that and been there. We love you and miss you. Happy Anniversary Russ.

Hey Russ, Just checking in on what would be your 20th anniversary, you are loved and missed. I want to let you know I shared your love in another way just recently, I broke down and shared your pin boards I had and it was so awesome to see and feel your love with people. I loved telling people where they came from and what a great guy you were, how many people you effected...you live on Russ in the hearts of many.

Today I opened up my calendar and your name is still there. I wish you were here so I could wish you a Happy Anniversary. You have been gone over 5 years but we still have not removed your phone number from our phones or taken your birthday or anniversary off our calendar. It has never felt like the right time. I know we am not the only ones. Just seeing your name made me very sad that you are not here anymore. That you won't see that the convention is coming back in 2012. I know how much you loved being a part of Western MA in Narcotics Anonymous. You will always be missed as you made such a huge impact on my life. You are one of the reasons that both of us are still here. You are one of a kind. Forever in our hearts.

My Dearest Russ,
Now five years has passed but this year is different, you have mum with you now. The pain of both of you gone is unbearable only speckled with small moments of joy that you are together. She loved and missed you so, she came quickly but left us too fast as you did. Now I pray for myself and Tra that we can get through this deafening loneliness of not having both of you. Take care of her, she was the best friend I ever had and I now miss you both. Love and miss you every day.
