To the Russell Family,
I have never known a prouder father than yours. He lived and breathed his faith, family, and country. He was a wonderful Godfather to my son Chad, and friend to me. He was a companion usher to my father and golfed with him for several years until time slowed him down. May God's blessings continue to abound for all of you and treasured memories cushion your loss of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and godfather.
With...

Bob, we will miss your smiling face and your always upbeat personality. We will never forget your unique war stories and your pride in being an American. You were definitely one of a vanishing breed. It was a pleasure knowing you.
