Not sure what to say?

You were always a friendly face in the office and I think about you often. You live on in our memories.

I miss you dearly. One day we will together for eternity and in world. Love you always. Rhonda

I was able to meet and work with Rusty during my tenure at PacifiCorp. I was actually given the opportunity to work for PacifiCorp while Rusty was out on medical leave for a couple of months. This turned into a full-time job and I got to work with him for 7 years.

I always enjoyed his funny comments that he'd come up with during the day.

Definitely a model employee and I'm sure the same outside of work.

I had the pleasure of working with Rusty for the last 3 years. I could always count on him. I'll miss talking to him in the morning. He approached life with joy and patience. He will not soon be forgotten. My deepest sympathy in this time of loss and remembrance to the family.

Rusty and me back in the 80's

1972 - you will be forever missed - gone way too soon.

I wish to express my condolences to the family. Rusty was a trusted and loved colleague of mine. His kindness and happy demeanor will not be forgotten. He is sorely missed. Please be comforted and know that Rusty impacted many of us here at work. We grieve with you.

Miss you everyday - Rhonda
