Not sure what to say?

I'm thinking of you today my friend

I haven't seen Russ in years -- we worked together in the early 1990's at the National Governors' Association. He was such a nice guy and a great person. I still have a chair he gave me when I bought my first house. Great guy.

There are some people that will always pop into your head when you think back on your life. It's the impact and influence that out lives have that truly are our legacy.

Even being so far removed from my youth, Russel is one of those people that will be with me as a reminder of the joys of childhood. He was unique, goofy, considerate and always smiling. He'll always be there, caught in those forever moments of my life.

My condolences to all who will miss the man he grew...

I am very sorry to hear of Russell's passing. I remember Russell as a kind & thoughtful classmate (WHS '78). My sincere condolences to his family & friends during this difficult time.

I haven't seen Russell since High School, but I will always remember him as a very nice person. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Jayson and family - Just learned about the passing of Russell. Cannot even imagine the effect on you and yours. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sorrowful time. Our family always thought of Russell as a wonderful friend to David, Dennis and Diana during their high school years. . John and Florence Harrison, Clearwater, FL

I only barely knew Russell growing up. We lived a few dozen homes apart from each other on Oxbow Road with our paths crossing infrequently. Nonetheless, my memory of Russell remains un-faded more than 40 years later.

I remember Russell as courageous because he put himself out there for the world to measure, bright spirited with eyes wide open, and a clever young man who could see the world. He will forever be this boy to me.

I know Russell’s presence will be missed...

I graduated with Russ from WHS. He was always a nice guy & well respected by our classmates.
To Russ' Family & Friends - I know there are no special words that will magically take away the pain from your loss, but please at least know that He and You are in Our Thoughts & Prayers.

My brother-in-law Russ made his wishes known that in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Sereno Soccer Club in Arizona. He lived his life for his wife and children. The address can be found at serenosoccer.com.
