Michael B. Russ

I have not seen Mike since we were kids. He was my first cousin. His mother Lela and my mother Angeline were sisters. I was very sad to hear of Mike's accident. I will keep his wife, mother, and brothers in my prayers.

I will always fondly remember Mike. He was one of my best friends in high school, and helped me through some difficult times. I also remember him as one of the best drummers I ever played with, and one of the most innately intelligent people I've ever known. I will miss him. I offer my condolences to his family. My thoughts are with you. If I can be of assistance in any way please don't hesitate to contact me.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Dear Russ Family: We have not seen Mike, our cousin, since he was a young teenager. We certainly convey our deepest sympathy to his lovely wife, Nancy; his brothers Steve and Alan; sister Patt and his wonderful Mother Lee. The sudden death of a loved one is always very painful and takes a long time to rebuild your life or try to understand why. I wish I could offer something. For me prayer helps and friends are invaluable as you work through the grief process.

With love, Russ...

I never met my cousin Mike; but from all accounts I know he was a good person. My sympathy goes to his wife, mother and brothers.

I was sorry to hear of Mike accident. I went through Junior High and High School with Mike in Junction City. We were able to correspond with some of his class mates yesterday and they are aware of his passing. Through these last few years I have been able to find out how Mike was doing as I worked with his brother, Alan at Westar Energy.
