Dear Annette and Family,
Please accept my condolances on the loss of a great man and a role model. I knew Russ as a Police office and his affiliation with the Lonsdale Fire Department. I always had the utmost respect for him. Russ was always there for everyone else. I have always been proud to know Russ. Whenever he came into a room he would light it up, you always knew when Russ was there. Russ always had a great big smile and a laugh that was his alone. Russ was everyones friend. May the peace of the Lord be with you and your family during this most difficut time.

Uncle Russell, Your unwavering determination and courage have inspired and touched us. There are so many people who care for you and look up to you. This is a testament to the individual that you are and the life you have led.
I have been proud and honored, not only to have you as my Uncle but my Godfather as well.
Thank you for always being in my corner, and remaining forever hopeful…please leave some behind.
Aunt Annette, in the tough days ahead, hold on tight to the moments you and Uncle Russell shared and know that people are there for you and care. May God Bless and help comfort you.
