Not sure what to say?

I knew Russ from my days at Chromalloy. My two brothers and i worked with Russ closely as we were in engineering and he was tool inspection. Russ was the best and a hard guy to forget. If Russ checked it you knew it was right. He always had a great sense of humor and a story to tell. We were sorry to hear of Russes passing. With our condolences to the family. Dean, Brian and Kevin Hile

He was so proud of his sons and their families and loved the grandkids just as much. He will be joining his wife Carrie, his forever love, in Heaven. You will be missed Russ, know that the world was a much better place shared with you.
