Russell was one of the most focused people I have ever met. I am so glad he was able to get his own place, and have his "pigs" with him. Rest in peace, Russell.

Taken last Oct. 3rd of 2009, this is 1 of my favorite pictures of Russ.

Mr Williams was such a sweet man, and will be missed. I always enjoyed seeing him when he stoped in at bank of Hampton roads. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember you can lean on God through these hard times and he will see you through.
