Read MoreJim, hard to believe 5 yrs have passed without seeing/hearing from you. You are truly missed and thought of often. Kindest and most generous man. One thing I still remember is your time given so freely to people and causes. You were simply the best.

Another passing chapter in the history of great athletes of San Francisco. Jim was one of the greatest and smartest. It was an honor to play with and against him. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family.

It is with sincere sympathy that I am sending all my prayers to the whole family at this sad time. Although I never met mr Russi, I love and adore Tim and his wonderful wife Alicia! They were very supportive of me during my husband'ssickness and his passing away this past march. Tim seems to have been a mirror of his great dad. Be comforted in knowing he is not in pain although I know you didn't want to lose him.

I may have had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful sounding man at Tim and Alicia's wedding. I wish I could remember better. Tim has been the best addition to our family and has been a great father to his kids and a wonderful husband to Alicia. This have the type of family that many people admire. I always knew Alicia would be an awesome mom, but she has gone way past that and I know it's because she has a man like Tim there with her. Please accept my heartfelt sorrow Tim in the loss of...

Mrs Russi and family: I was so very sorry to learn that my wonderful hand crushing buddy had passed away. I will miss seeing that wonderful man at church and the awesome hand shakes we shared. I consider us family in GOD so your loss is my loss as well. I asked my mom to say hello to him when he arrived to his final home and to give him a hug not only for herself but for me and I'm certain she has. May GOD bless you and your family and know that I loved him because he is and will always...

Rest In Peace Mr. Russi--though I never met you, I met your daughter Shelley and she is a woman of integrity and a loyal friend so I've met you through her. Job well-done as a Dad! Sympathy and condolences to your family She & Rahn.
