I have known Russ for the better part of 30 years. I can't remember how or where we met, but it was in a business situation and that was the continuing thread that sustained our relationship. I quickly found that we had attended USC and worked for Union Bank, both at different times. Russ was a hard guy 'not to like'. he was genuinely friendly and always had a joke or two to start a conversation or business discussion. He was also a complete professional, and may have 'invented' along with his partner Jack Engelke the financial category of "middle market investment banking". I turned to him more than once with a tough deal, that he was able to salvage with his consumate skill and 'endless rolodex'. He will be missed by all of his colleagues in the finance community as well as his many friends and his two children Devin & Trevor.

Who showed me how to live and instilled a fight within me that will never fade. I miss you with every breath. My tears still fall, backed by true gratitude and honor . Purely thankful for the memories we shared. Still, facing the wisdom you offered . Now you can watch and guide us to our place in this word without fighting ever again. Until we meet again , You live on thru the ones who knew you best.

I met Russ in the early '80's and knew that Russ was made of strong character and truly a class act. I spoke to him about 3 years ago and he made time to talk to me. Really great guy...strong solid and a pillar in the leasing markets. I extend my sympathy to the family and those who have realized that we lost "one hellava guy".

Met your Husband and Dad in '79 or '80 when I was with TriCon Leasing in Woodland Hills. I think his firm was still Hindin/Owen then. Our initial connection was through Crocker in the mid-70's. He was a prince, and is personally and professionally missed. Blessings to You, his Family. Terry Waggoner, J.D. (Camarillo, CA)

I knew Russ and worked with him back in the 80's and 90's. I didnt keep in touch as much as I should but when I saw that he had passed I wanted to extend my condolences to his family. May God bless and protect his family always. People like Russ made this world a better place to live..... Rick Galtelli

I've known Russ for about 30 years and even after exiting the leasing industry I've made it a point to stay in touch with him - like Starbucks twice a year. I think we had one coming up, and I'll miss him. He was one of the "good-guys."

I attended Bakersfield High School with Russ in the 1960's and stayed in touch with him and his firm, Hindin/Owen/Engelke, off and on until the early 1990's. Russ was a very capable, honest man who was both liked and well respected in his field. He will be missed by all those who knew him.

Devin and Trevor, I knew your father in the early 1990's and met you both several times. I am so very sad to learn of your loss. In all my life, I have never known a parent who loved his children more than he loved both of you, who took such tremendous pride and joy in everything you did and who simply relished being the Dad of two such bright, sweet and adorable children. He literally beamed when he was with you or spoke of you. The bond between the three of you was very beautiful. My deepest condolences to you both.

Russ was a very classy guy and a pleasure to work with. He will be sorely missed by an industry that has all too few honest men left. My condolences to his many friends and family.

I met Russ years ago in the 80's and periodically stayed in touch. I was surprised to see in the LA Times that he had passed, especially since Russ and I are the same age. My deepest sympathy to his family.
