Joseph D. Russell Sr.

I miss his great sense of humor, and his companionship.....

Jinny, this is all so tragic. You were gone when I returned from my knee surgery. Now this. Please know that I'm here for you. Nothing has changed that. I'd love to take you to lunch soon. Please stay in touch. You will be in my prayers.

Joe-Joe, Liz, Momma Russell... I am terribly sorry for your loss. You and your family have always been incredibly kind and loving, and I always wished I had a father like yours... A great man, gone way too early. My thoughts will be with you

We lost a very special person and a good friend.

God Bless your Family Jenny and Joe's family. I knew him as a very sensitive brother who loved and gave his heart to everyone. He will be truly missed by his family and friends, with the grace of God we will met again in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

Dear Jinny, Joe, jr. and Kathleen---I am so sorry to hear about Joey. I always did just love the kid. He was a great guy and I am so sad. My heart goes out to all three of you. From Harold's Mom, Donna Powell

Jinny, Joey, and Liz,
We have been thinking of you since Alex sent the terrible news. Hard to believe, and so we won't--in a way. We'll continue to see Joe as the funny, lively, happy guy who loved his family and was so very proud of his son. Big love from Ann & Mike Carr

Jinny and family, our deepest sympathy for you at this sad time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Momma Russell, Joey, & Liz...Words can't even begin to express my thoughts and feelings right now. Mr. Russell was an amazing person and Jay and I consider ourselves lucky to have been able to be so close with your family thru out IU and after...He always greeted us with a big smile and hug and what great memories we have of him! He was just like a "dad" to us. Our thoughts are with you and all your family as you go thru this difficult time, and know we will always treasure what times we were...
