I have alot of memoires with Uncle Eric going to his house playing teather ball in the back yard , loved hearing him and my dad talk about the good old days. Seeing how strong he was! Even tho he was in a wheelchair , I remember him always getting out of it to get in the front seat of my uncle's vehicle when he went to family gatherings or to my grandmothers house. I was blessed to have a uncle like him, he was strong man in the mind and heart. He will be greatly missed by so many of us Russell's and others. Fly high with Jesus, Grandma and Grandpa!
