Russell Orin Zimmerman

How much we feel for your loss. Sheila and family, we sure love your family. I have so many good memories of New Years Eve parties and watching the football games the next day. Also the Easter get togethers were memorable with the Zimmermans in SLC. How much better we are for knowing Russell. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Sheila, Gina, and Richard. Russell definately was a giant in my eyes and was a great father and I knew he loved the Lord. Thanks for being a part of my life.

I had lunch with Russel quite often before he retired. I hope he enjoyed the antique scales we were able to get for him. I moved to CA, and just came up to visit my family. He was a terrific person. Sincerely Kathleen Wayne

Dear Sheila,
We have thought of you often over the years. We saw the obit. in the paper. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always remember days gone by.
Love, Sallie & Dick Eddy

Sheila,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I'm sorry we didn't get to the funeral. I have been out of town on jobs trying to stay ahead of the weather in such a seasonal business.

I always enjoyed Russ. He always seemed to have something to smile and joke about. I enjoyed my association with him in the High Priest group.

We enjoy our association with you and appreciate all you do.

Russell & Carolyn Wardle

Sheila,

We are saddened to hear of Russell's passing. We look fondly back to the days when we were your neighbors. Russell was alway such a kind friend, and will be missed by everyone with whom he had come in contact.

Our love and thoughts go out to you and your family.

I was greatly saddened to learn today (11/8/06) of Russ' passing. We were pals at Castle AFB in California, in the late '50s. I hope none will think it inappropriate that I share the following story about Russ.

Russ was a radio oprator who often came to church Sunday morning after working all night. We soon discovered that Russ could sleep through meetings by sitting at rigid military "attention" with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes wide open.

Once we...

Russell was such a dear neighbor. Even though our family was not of the Mormon faith, that didn't stop Russell and his family from befriending us. The last time I saw Russell I was with my mother and brother Gene. We were at a gas station in Mesquite NV, and Gene just casually said, "Oh look it's the Zimmermans" with out a thought we all embraced as if no time had gone by. But that was how Russell and Sheila made you feel, that even though we had moved many mile away when a chance meeting...

As a Child the thing I loved to most about the Biorge Christmas party was the opportunity to see my Grand pa and Russ. He will be missed.
Love George Gilgen

Russ is a shining example of Christ-like love. We will always remember his thoughtful kindness and fun sense of humor. He was a true gentleman. Our lives have been enriched by our association with him and his special wife, Sheila. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May your memories bring you comfort and peace.
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
