Russell R. Waggoner

Dear Lisa, Cameron and family,

I was in college in A2 when I met Russ. He was the paramedic who brought my dear friend, Connie Keicher, to U of M from Midland. During her entire 9 month illness, he visited her almost daily. He not only encouraged Connie and her family, but also all of her friends who were there through the trama of her long ordeal. I was one of those friends. Russ was such a kind, funny and genuinely great guy-- we all adored him.
I am truly sorry for...

Dear Lisa and Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Russ. I had pleasure to work with Russ in the early 90's when I was assigned to the Selfridge ANGB AES unit. Russ helped me greatly when I first moved to Michigan from Texas and we stayed in touch over the years. I will greatly miss his laughter and enthusiam. The image that immediately comes to mind of Russ is that "Rambo Nurse" and I mean that in the best possible way! I have some photos I would love to share if you are...

Russ was a wonderful person who touched the lives of many. I was truely blessed to have known him. He will be greatly missed, but always remembered by all. My prayers and thoughts go to his family at this time.

Dear Lisa,
My condolescences 1,000times over. I was an RT on nights in TBICU a few years back working with you and of course Russ-he was always fun on that horrid shift and what a great nurse!! I remember Mike saying he was definately one of the guys you'd be glad to see jump off that helicopter. I didn't know of his sickness so it has certainly shocked me- the last time I seen Russ was him showing off his brag photo of you and the baby. What a great memory I'll have. Today I'll keep...

May god be with Russ' family during this difficult time.
Russ was always in good spirit when I worked with him at Pfizer even after he became ill.

May God be with Lisa, Cameron and family during this difficult time. Russ' legacy as a Military TNCC Instructor will always be remembered for his passion for trauma nursing care. CDR Myrna Mamaril, NC, USNR

Russ was one of the first instructors I ever worked with at JMRTC/DMRTI, which helped me to know what a instructor should be. I will truly miss him.

We will miss you dearly

From the SWM Systems Region II Operations Coordinator deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers are with you
