Russ,
Thank you for being the greatest Uncle ever. I could not of asked for/or had a better Uncle. Although, the time we shared was limited in the scheme of life, it was always memorable & will never be forgotten. Having known you made a better person, & made me 'thick skinned' which helped through tough times when I was younger. I learned how to be an awesome Uncle from you. You are truly missed & you will certainly never be forgotten.
Thank you for being you.
R.I.P. Uncle Russ
Love,
J.D.
