My husband, Larry Cronin, was cousin to Russ and I think Godson of Aunt Loretta. Fond memories of Russ when he was involved in local politics. Our house backed up to 270 and Russ put a political sign in the backyard. We used to run into his brother Ray at Dierbergs occasionally. Larry is recalling the old neighborhood Walnut Park and Brown's Confectionery where they used to hang out...we are sorry for your loss but have fun memories of such a good family.

I worked with Russ at Union Electric starting in 1958. Was a wonderful person to work with in the Machine Room, that's what they called the office where the computers were. Betty you may not recall me but I was at you house years ago in I think lol Valley. My sympathy take care Charles Krah.
