Russell Lloyd McMillan

34 years ago Mr. McMillan went to bat for this goofy kid who was a friend of his son, Lon. On the day of graduation when he found out that I was not participating in the ceremony with my class, he called the school and spoke with the principal and the administrator on my behalf. Although it was to no avail, to this day I truly do lack the words to tell you what that single act meant to me as much now as it did then. If I knew nothing else of the man, that act alone expresses the character,...

Russ McMillan, and his family, were like a second family to me. I lived with them one summer while my folks were spending a year in Germany. As Marla said, he will be remembered in a good way by many! May all the McMillans and their loved ones find peace in this time of sorrow. Many are thinking about you.

Mr. McMillan was one of the kindest people that I have known. I have many fond memories of Family Camp at Mingus Mountain and from other Epworth UMC church activities. When he and Ruth began attending Dayspring UMC this year where I am currently a member it felt like home. Best wishes to Ruth, Lon, Nan, Barry and all of their families. I know that you miss him. P;ease know that he will be remembered by many for years to come.

Russell was a great man. I know he will be missed by all of you. But he's now in the arms of the great healer, Jesus our Lord.

Love to you all,
