Not sure what to say?

It just seems like time just flies by. Many times I get to thinking of what a special man he was, always a hug, laughing and a smile. I remember him comming to me in a store and just hug me. He was a great man, you cant get a better dad or husband then he was. His family was so lucky to have such a loving father.

We are saddened to hear of Russ's passing. We will miss his smile, gentle personality, his stories and the sounds of him "mowing."
Farewell, rest in peace, to a good Christain and good neighbor who will not be forgotten. Our prayers go out for all his family during this difficult time of loss.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.
