Dear Jeanne, I'm so sorry to hear about Russ. I have so often thought of him after I left Comcast. He was such a kind, funny and great volunteer for us. I'm sure he's up there videotaping something. Hugs to you

My family got to know the Tranchell family back in the mid to late 70's as...wife Jeanne become sitter/caregiver to our 2 sons Matt/Ryan McKimmy during their school day and periodically Mr. would stop by.

Jeanne introduce me to her "chees-ey scrambled egg reciepe....a generous amount of cheese and however many eggs I thought I might want.

Over time they became.....Dad's famous eggs(I re-named them) annnnnnnnnd to this day Matt/Ryan make Jeanne's chees-ey eggs!

THANK YOU(both)for the love/care and nurturing examples Matt/Ryan experienced!

CONDOLENCES from our family to yours

Ed/Matt/Ryan McKimmy

This not good news for the Flushing area. Every community needs more citizens like Russ. I talked frequently with Russ over the years. His enthusiasm for public service was outstanding. My sympathy goes out to his family
