Read MoreRuss (via Nancy Lee) employed me as a singer with his namesake band, the Pacesetters. I'm grateful to them for a wonderful experience of three years in the beautiful state of Alaska. Russ was one of a kind and a true pioneer. It wouldn't be a stretch to call his Pines Club "legendary."

I met Russ and Julie through my soul mate Shirley in the late 90's. Russ was a wonderful man and a great friend. I consider myself blessed to have been able to call such a nice human being, Friend. His life touched so many and all will miss him.
