Dear Amy and family
I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Russ was a wonderful man. I had the opportunity of reconnecting with him several years ago when my Dad, Steve Smith, (Russ' older brother) passed away. He was as I remembered him when I was a child, happy, loving and full of stories! He was the last of his 7 siblings to pass.....happy trails Uncle Russ!
With love,
Debi Thompson
