To the entire Kinkle family I send my love and deepest sympathy. I will miss seeing Russ as David and I have been good friends with Darlene & Russ for many years and got to know their wonderful family.I know David, Russ and Darlene and all our Oriole friends are looking down on us and look forward to the day when we will all be together. David must have been very lonely because since his death August 2, 2014 nine family members and friends have joined him. May your beloved Russ rest in peace and know that he truly loved you but needed to be with his beloved Darlene. I am so sorry. My love to all of you. Madeleine Newman-Lancaster Oriole Aux.#120.

We had wonderful times together at Lodge functions and camping. I was blessed to have Russ and Darlene stand up for us at our wedding. Louie considered Russ as his other Brother. He and Darlene were wonderful dancers on the dance floor. Love to watch them dance together. They were both wonderful, beautiful people. I miss them both.
