Not sure what to say?

I attended a swim class with Russ in Dallas for several years. I ran into him in 2010 or 2011 at the gum and we spoke about his place on Lake Superior. He was such a warm and engaging man. I still have laminated swim workout programs with his name on it! Deepest condolences to the Larson family, albeit almost six years later.

To the Larson family, who I will always think of as my friends, extended family, and next door neighbors forever: As I sit next to my father tonight in the hospital, I have just heard of your loss. My heart goes out to you all, and I will always remember fondly being a part of your family. Russ was a good man, a great father, and a constant strength that is so rare today.

Have had you on my mind a lot recently so went to internet to find you and learnedmof Russ's death. So sad as he wasmsuch a special person. Your family will be in my prayers. It has been way too long since I have seen you.
Sincerely,
Lois Jameson

Russ helped me to realize that you do not have to do great things to be a great influence. Just love your family, do what is right and be kind to others. I will greatly miss him. Carol Larson.

May God grant peace and strength to his family and friends and cherish his soul in heaven.

I didn't know Russell personally, nor did I ever meet Russell, but I learned about Russell through the eyes of his daughter in law, Lori. Over the years I heard wonderful comments about Russell's wisdom, his fairness, his perpetual hard work, the love for his family and his grandchildren. Russell taught Lori many areas of business management, and Lori was very proud and grateful. Russell sounded like a strong leader in his community as well as in his family. He must have been an extraordinary...

I miss you so much. Love, Lori
