Russel Irwin Smith

One in a million!

Our families intertwined for so many years, it is so hard to believe that so much time has passed and that Russell is no longer with us, but I am so happy that he lived such a full and exemplary life. I can imagine Russell and my parents, reunited, laughing over old times together... My best to all of the family.

Dear Barbara,

I met your father years ago, probably when we were in college together. I will never forget your home in York Center and your loving parents. I am reaching out from Germany at this moment to give you a hug.

Expressing sympathy on your deep loss. I did not know Russel personally, but knew of him through his daughter Barbara. Peace be with you and your family.

Dear Florence, Barbara, Norman, and Roger, et al, So sorry to hear of Russel's passing. I always knew him as an admirable person - as are all of you! Best wishes as you remember him and your times together. And in hopes of reconnecting with you myself (especially Roger). Shalom...

Though I never met Russell, I know of him through his daughter, Barbara. He has lived a worthy life, raised a wonderful daughter, and contributed to many other good causes. We are thinking of you in your loss and know that you will find peace in the process.

Dear Barbara,
We send out best wishes to your mother and other family members to celebrate the life of your Dad. Although we have not had the pleasure of meeting him, we feel like we have known him through you. May God's blessings be with the family.

Greetings, Barbara and family. We are sorry to learn of your father's passing, but we also know that you are celebrating his long and rich life. Our prayers are especially with your mother, as she learns to live without her companion of so many years. Much love to all.
