I will always cherish the times I spent with your family, when I was a child and later as an adult with my own children. Your father was a caring and generous man who loved his family deeply. I still have the bowl he brought me from Ireland. Its where I keep my Ukrainian Easter eggs now.
He was always busy with some project. I remember thinking he could fix anything.
I have a photo of him with his two sisters and other relatives that belonged to my mom. He was a good, good man....

I will never forget ALL the fun times at Brigantine and Fl. He was a very strong minded but a soft heart. I will not forget times Uncle Rusty would come home from work or errands.When Liz was small and Uncle Rusty always had a treat in his pocket. Liz would ask for a treat and Uncle Rusty would say yes. "Don not tell Mom". The other thing was he would always straiten a rug or a picture. He will always be in my heart. Love Tami

Aunt Mary and Family,
I just got back from field training for deployment and got the news. Please accept our condolences for Russ's passing. I was elk hunting two weeks ago and often thought of the great times we had with Russ here chasing deer and elk. He will be missed greatly.
Our prayers are with you and the family.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of your dear husband. He was such a great guy and so-o-o intelligent.
When I would call your home, he would talk a few minutes--then call, "Mary, Cheryl's mother is on the phone." I can hear him now.
I pray God will give you strength and comfort during this time of sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
