Not sure what to say?

I knew David and Sharin when he was doing his residency at Overlook Hospital, he had a new joke every time I saw him, we lost touch a while after I visited them in Boston, they were extremely nice hosts and we had a great time. I moved back to Costa Rica but often think of the nice people I knew in the US and he always comes to mind. Sharin my most sincere condolences, may you find the strength in the grace of God.

I just read about Dr. Russell's death in the BU alumni magazine. I am so, so sorry the world lost such a talented and caring man at such a young age. Dr. Russell took excellent care of my teeth for over 25 years. Whenever I saw him in his office or on the city streets, he made me feel I was his very favorite patient. I'm sure he treated all his patients that way. I enjoyed our friendly debates about politics, his deep interest in the projects he undertook, and his enjoyment of time spent...

I am so so sorry. Dr. Russell was my dentist for 20 years; he became my friend as well. He was a brilliant and loving human being.

I was very saddened today to find out that Dr Russell passed away. My heartfelt condolences to the Russell family and especially to his wife Sharin for the loss of this amazing person. Anytime I saw him at the Dentist, it was more a social event than a dental appointment. He was always so friendly and made you feel as if you were part of his inner circle. A true gentleman, he will be sorely missed.
Rest easy David

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Russell Family on the passing of this truly amazing and gentle hearted man, who was my friend.

I met Dr. Russell at a Boston Police Athletic League Golf Tournament some 15 years ago while having coffee..

We spoke for several minutes and exchanged each other’s contact information. We departed ways with him thanking me for being a Boston Police Officer and with him sincerely saying to me, “if you or your family are ever...

David was a wonderful man andvery kind with a terrific sense of humor. As our dentist of many years, he was extremely professional. We were pleased to know him and Sharin.
Sharin, our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.
