Greg and family, so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. We always felt like your family was our family and our friends. We had some fabulous times and always great food! Your dad will never be forgotten for being such a kind and generous person who shared all of his skills to help others. A great and loving man. You will be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He and your mom were mom and dad's friends for so many years. I remember many New Years of getting together and your dad making duck or goose. YUCK! Who wants that as a kid. But there were so many good times and fun memories.

My sincere sympathy to your family. I went to school with Gary, and your dad was a good friend to my mom and her friend George Eaton. What a great friend and person Russ was! Thank you for sharing him with all of us all these years.

Sincerely, Kathie Brown Grazis
