To the family of Russell Peters. I was sorry to read of Russell's passing. We were neighbors and classmates of the Peters during our years at Belvoir and Highland Park High. Though we have not seen them for many years, our sympathy goes out to them. It appears Russell had the wonderful life that he deserved.
