Russ was a good friend of my husband. They started working together at Franklin Life. We always remembered Russ helping George get started with Bob Egizii (and then John).

They are now telling stories. Some of them I'm sure are not the best!

My sympathy to all of you.

Russ was a good friend of my husband. They started working together at Franklin Life. We always remembered his help getting George started with Bob Egizii (and later John).

The two of them are now telling stories. Some of them probably not so good!

My sympathy to all of you.

The photo memories of Uncle Gene were so precious! My cousins, every memory I have of him are so happy. He loved Angie and I. Kind of took Dad under his wing, I think. You have all watched his demise over the years, and that is sad. So glad you were able to share the happy parts of his life. I love you and wish you comfort and blessings.

I am so sorry in the your loss of Mr. Fagg. He was the union mgr. when my husband, David Griffin, was in the union. He was very helpful to Dave when times got hard with work...he always found a place for Dave to work and that we were always grateful. Mr. Fagg was always very helpful when Dave's mother had the shop here in Taylorville. After her loss, Mr. Fagg was very kind and helpful to the guys from the shop. When we had a problem of any kind, we always relied on Mr. Fagg to help out, which he always did. He was a very good & kind man. Now maybe, he & Dave can talk union talk up in heaven as Dave passed away on Aug. 6th, 2013.
Sincerely,
Angie Griffin
