I grew up watching this man play with his brothers and my dad in the Choir. I loved going with my parents to Choir practice just to see how the Holy Spirit moved Russ as he sang, played and directed. He was a joy to be around, a kind soul, and energetic personality. I will truly miss him but i know that the Choir in Heaven is happy with Russ and his flaming guitar.

"Como una guitara sin sonido" expresses our loss of this wonderful human being.
We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to the Hernandez Family for the loss of their Father. He was a member of our family too. Rest assured that our dad, Rod Rodriguez, received him with open arms and a joyful heart! Listen carefully...the Heavens are bursting with the music of Los Tres Amigos once again... Rod Rodriguez, Juan Rodriguez and now, Erasmo Hernandez.
Love

Uncle Russ left behind a legacy of a dedicated, loving family--may God bless you all and comfort you at this difficult time. I'll keep you in my prayers. He always made me feel special my whole life. He called me Barbra Striesand--he said I looked like her, and he thought I could sing like her too (but I couldn't). I will hold many memories of him in my heart forever. He's now with the rest of his brothers and happy. He used to call me Angel and many other people too, now he is our Angel. Love you all, Diana Hernandez Kleinhenz

Aunt Carmen and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss he was a great man who was loved by so many. I remember him always with a smile on his face and cracking his jokes just like uncle Al. I had so much respect for him that everytime I seen him and your mom I called them uncle Russ and aunt Carmen. Keep his memories close to your heart as I will.
