I am saddened to hear of Russ' passing. I had the great fortune to work under him at Wegman's. He was a wonderful man who always brought a smile to my face, not an easy feat considering I was a teenager at the time. Many years have passed but I have never forgotten his funny wit and his gentle nature. He will be missed. My condolences to your family.
