My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every member of the Powers family. It is difficult to realize the end of life for Russell's dad who lived and has given everyone such wonderful memories. He was indeed a gentleman who embraced life with friendliness and kindness. He will be missed by so many people, friends and family. Truly, he was a wonderful man. May he rest in peace.
