Having known Russell online for the past twelve months, I finally met him in December last year, and enjoyed every minute spent with him.
I commented to Russell at the time that it strangely felt like I had known him for many years, such was his personable and likeable style, an easy going bloke as we would call him here in Australia.
I returned to Detroit on 19 February only to learn the sad news of his passing the following night and was shattered at the news, we were both looking forward to attending the Red Wings game the following Tuesday, and spending more time together...generally in bars!!!
News of his passing greatly saddened and shocked me at the time, he has left a huge hole, not only as a friend and father, but also as a suitable business partner for future ventures.
And as I have discovered in the short time since, you cannot replace Russell, may he rest in peace eternally until next we meet for that overdue drink.
May his family take comfort knowing that Russell was a generous and caring person who loved and lived life to the fullest, and may time heal the pain that currently fills our hearts.
David from Melbourne Australia.

Russell was the first person I had the honor to have met that held the same passion for Detroit as myself. His vision and support, inspired in ways we will all miss.
So many moments I know I will feel the absence of his presence and so cherished are the memories I feel blessed to have. From the swelling pride of showing off a new project home to the way he would seem to absorb a moment of reflection on the architecture and art of our fair city.
Thank you for believing in me Russell, I hope to continue the course and make what you saw in me shine to the rest of the world.
You will be greatly missed. But each of us who had the fortune of knowing you will be forever better for it.
