Not sure what to say?

Lisa, Kendra and T

Although very belated, we just heard this deeply sad news. I wish we were aware sooner.

There are few people in this world, that garner instant respect, Russell was one of them. His demeanor was always unflappable, he belief that everything could be done was unwaivering. Of course with his MacGivor like approach, Russell could make anything possible.

I believe that the three of you represent who Russell will always be remembered as....

Lisa and family I can not say anything except that Sir Russell is my best friend too he treated us with respect when we are under his management I lost also my mother and my wife now I lost another my best Boss. In behalf of my co-worker our deepest sympathy.

Dearest Lisa, Kendra and Maltide,
I'll miss Russel and his wonderful wit. I want you yo know that I have always admired your family and how close and loving you are to each other and those around you. I'll always remember the time, maybe 12 years ago, Russel brought the girls to the office just to look at the fish in the window (and we both know how much he loved to just drop by). I can only hope to be as selfless a parent as he was.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part...

Dear Lisa,Kendra & Maltide

My prayers are with you and your family as you go through this very tough time. As many have wrote in this guest book, I am deeply saddened to hear of this great loss. I too was very honored to have know Russell for many years. We had built a good business relationship & friendship over the years. His personality brought out the best in people as he was always so positive. He always spoke very highly of his family and how proud he was of his daughters!...

Lisa, may God be with you and your daughters as you go through this very sad time. My name is Rosalie and Chris Keenan was my brother. I never met Russ in person but Chris spoke of him so fondly that I felt like we were old friends. I am so sorry that he is gone and that you and your children must go through this pain.
I will be praying for you, Kendra and Maltide.

I am greatly honored to have had Russ in my life for what seems the briefest of moments. A true friend that gave selflessly of his time and effort, gave of his boundless, mirthful spirit, and gave of his unconditional love to his closest friends and strangers alike.

A great lover of animals, my favorite memories are of his work with injured birds of prey here in northern California. I watched and occasionally assisted as he exercised a magnificent red-tailed hawk they named...

Dear Lisa & family,

My thoughts are with you as you move through this terribly sad time. It is apparent that you all are much loved and have a wonderful support line.

Dear Lisa and family,
I was extremely saddened to hear of your loss. I was fortunate to work with Russell @ eBay in Vancouver and he was one of those people that could always be relied on to do the right thing. His warmth, thoughtfulness and easy-going, “can-do” approach will always be remembered with a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Russell was a wonderful work colleague and friend, big hearted, warm and a true professional - he will always be missed and thought of with great fondness by all of us that were fortunate enought to work with Russell in the eBay Workplace Resources Team
