Hi, I am actually shocked and sad to have found out about Russell today. I'm Kinda, my mother was once married to Russell and run Lost on Larrabee with him in the 70s. They actually didn't keep in touch. I grew up in Spain and just moved to LA, would of liked to get in touch with him while I was here, but didn't have the chance. RIP Russell.

I am sorry to read of Russell's death.I took a Grief Recovery course here in Switzerland and had several questions which I wrote to Russell via email.He answered them all w great caring and professionalism.The world is a better place because of Rissell's work in the field of grief recovery.My condolences to his wife and family and to John James.Best Lorraine Curran-Vu,formerly of Boston,since 1998,living in Zurich,Switzerland

My warmest participation. I had the pleasure of attending one of Russell's courses in LA. I still remember the days with warmth and happiness. I am happy that I have had the opportunity to carry forward Russell's knowledge. I myself have been greatly benefited in my own life of all that Russell intermediated

Thank you to everyone for your lovely thoughts about Russell.

A tribute to the most loving, compassionate and gentle man I have ever had the delightful experience of spending time with. Blessings to all who loved him. His work is a legacy for those who follow. Words cannot express my sadness.
