We received your letter today Helen and
were indeed saddened by the news.
I first met Russ while in the RCAF stationed in Sea Island BC and then again in St.Hubert where we first met you and your sons.Bev and I have fond
memories of the times we shared together while in Montreal and later years in Ottawa.
Russ was a great person and very proud of his heritage.I will never forget a most dear friend.
You will remain in our thoughts and prayers Helen.May God Bless you and your family.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Helen, John, Jim and their families. Your father was a wonderful man. During the holidays I always looked forward to Russ and Helen coming over.

We regret that we did not learn about Russ's death in time to be able to share the memorial service. We felt privileged to know Russ and to learn about his life's journey and many accomplishments. We have such good memories of tales told, laughs shared during our time at NW1. Our sincerest condolences to Helen and family.

My heartfelt condolences go to Russ's family. You were all so amazingly "there" for him during his final journey. Russ' obituary is eloquent and truly captures the essence of that great man.
I could fill a book trying to express what Russ' friendship meant to me, to know him was to love him.
I'm sure that Russ and Don are having a wonderful visit, with Don hoping that Russell remembered to bring the cigars!
Love to Russ' family,
Sandy
