My husband and I met Russ and Mimi back in 2005 on a Royal Caribbean cruise while watching a Steelers game on board the ship. We discovered that we lived within 10 minutes of each other. We became fast friends, watched Steeler games together, hung out together and shared a love of Vettes. Russ will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our deepest condolences to dear Mimi.

Russell and I grew up together in Hillcrest Heights Maryland and both went to Shepherd College and were TKEs. I have tried to reach out to Russ since I moved back to Maryland. I am very sorry and upset to read that he passed away . Charles max Stubbs Annapolis Md.

Russell was a 1st year principal and he hired me as a 1st year teacher. Teachers, students, and parents loved him. He was a great mentor and we became lasting friends playing tennis, racquetball, and enjoying our families friendships long after I transferred to another school. He also was my wife´s principal for many years. Prayers go out to Mimi,Tiffany and his family.
