Not sure what to say?

To the Adair Family,
We are very sorry to learn about Russ' passing. We have many good memories from Amity Theatre as Russ and Laura were trailblazers to make the ACT what it is today. The continuous help and support in making the productions great will always be remembered. Our prayers that you will find peace in remembering him with a smile on your face and in your heart. Sincerely, The Deane Family (Elizabeth, Tim and Connor)

My deepest sympathies to the family on your loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who pass on are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15)

Russ had a unique ability to speak his truth, even when that rustled others, openly, clearly and confidently. His opinions mattered to me and helped shape my sense of the right thing to do.

Russ, you were the best! Who can we share Krystal's with now? We'll miss you...
With love, Pat and Frank

Russ had a unique sense of humor that would sometimes catch you off guard if you didn't know him well. He was a straight shooter and very honest so you always knew where you stood with him which I always appreciated. He had amazing analytical skills and worked tirelessly on our earlier campaigns creating voter analysis data tools that predated the highly-touted national databases. But most of all, he was a friend who will be missed more than we can imagine right now. Rest in Peace, Big Dog!

Russ Adair was always a light in our community and he played such a large role in many of the shows at Amity High. He was always kind to me, and cheerful - and that's something that is contagious. I will certainly miss him and I offer my deepest condolences to Laura, Ken, and Carson. Much Love, -Erik Rooney
