Read MoreRuss was a man rivaled only by the likes of his father Joe and my own late father. Melody- Joe- it is nearly April and I still cannot explain how much my heart aches for you. Russell Sliker was one of the most well loved and respectful men in this beautiful country. A very sad time to see a best friend go. I love you buddy.

Swails and Sliker,,,a hundred years ago you gave me and my partner, Greg Huff, and the whole of Charleston, a shot at men's fashion, and that's how long I've known you.
Joe, so sorry for your loss. I can only say, just keep breathing bud.

Melody and Joe,
I just learned the news of Russell's death. My heart aches for you both and your entire family. I remember Russell in kindergarten and watching him grow over the years. He was such a smart, handsome, and comical young man. It's hard to imagine him leaving this world at such a young age.
Melody, I attend another church now so I haven't seen you in ages. I know you are a person of great faith, and I hope that God will comfort you in the hard days and months ahead....

Sorry for your loss, I am glad to have had Russell as a friend at CofC. We weren't the closest, but both sharing Lebanese heritage we clicked right off the bat and were basically housemates for a few months on Ascott Alley as we had mutual friends. We also lived down the street from each other on Queen Street for awhile.
