Dear Russ, we will never forget your sunny, pleasant personality that you brought to our exercise group. When the program closed down we so enjoyed seeing you and your dear wife at our monthly lunches. You are now among the angels. God bless you. Always.
From your freinds The Petrucha's.

Russel was, and will remain, an inspiration as to how to live a good life. We have shared with many of our friends how impressed we were that he was a hard working usher at church even when he reached his 104th birthday.
His sense of humor when interacting with Louise as well as the folks at church during coffee hour and at dinners was such fun to watch.
A true gentleman, and although he lived a long and fruitful life, it is hard to think of not having him on this earth with us.
Our love to you,Louise, and our prayers for your comforting knowledge that Russell is at peace with God and your daughter. You two had such a great life together, and may all those wonderful memories hold you in good stead now.
Much love from Stewart and Terri

Russ Wintle was the dearest man I have ever known. He and Louise were such good friends with my parents. I was blessed for the time I spent with Russ and his wonderful wife Louise. God be with them and their wonderful family.

We shall never forget the smiling face, the kind man with the spiffy shoes, walking down the aisle on Sunday mornings. Heaven now has another special Angel and may God Bless his family left behind. We shall miss you, dear friend. Leo and Sallye Rickert St. Augustine, Florida
