Not sure what to say?

I just have to say something about this great American film maker. I just know him by his wonderful work, all the care and patience that it took to assemble these pieces, why the narration and dialog alone just blow me away, let alone the photography. Years ago when the VHS copies came out, I thought I`d call the number on the back of the box, and low and behold, who picks up the phone, the voice said "R M", and I could`nt believe it, we talked for a few minutes, however I was quite dumb...

We personally did not know Russ as well as we know his faithful Assistant Janice Cowart but have been up on Russ's health progress for sometime and know that his passing should not be one of sorrow but a celebration of a life and a career that will forever be ingraved in history as one of the pioneers of the film industry. May he rest in peace.

To all who loved the rascally Russ, he was an immortal icon in the film industry.
Generous with friends, I remember many good times with the Russ and the great Edy Williams. I have cherished memories and no doubt your his ovure will continue to reap the praise they so richly deserve.
