Lynn, Nicole, Sean - I am so sorry about your loss. I was shocked and upset when I find out as I had just been in your dad's office that day talking with him. He was so proud of you all and talked about you often. Nicole - he kept reminding me that you are a fellow ADPi! I had fun working with him and enjoyed our continual bantering/teasing. He will be missed in our office - I will miss him.

I truly enjoyed working with Russ. He was a master of his profession and always displayed a burning desire to succeed. He went where others fear to tread and made it look easy.

My deepest condolences to his wife and children.

Semper Fi, Russ.

I heard today about Russ and am so sorry. Russ was one of the first people who befriended me when I returned from England. He was always special to me. I am sorry that we were not able to reconnect after high school since I live in Wyoming. My thoughts and Prayers go out to his family.

Aug. 1967-Russ was one of the last people I saw in Medford prior to moving to California.
Early 2002-Called him and tried to talk him into attending our reunion...did not convince him but we had a GREAT "catching up conversation". To his parents, and to his family in Colorado, I am truly sorry for the loss of your son, husband, & father. I will miss the friend I have known for 50+ years.

Although I lost touch with Russ after high school, I'll always remember him as a gung-ho guy who loved life (and sported a great flat-top haircut as a kid). My condolences to the families in Denver and Medford.

Hearing of Russ' passing was very difficult. I remember him as a great guy. Time has passed, but it sounds like he continued in the same direction as an adult.

I am so sorry to hear of this. I have a photo of Russ as a bright and energetic 6th grader. Bright. Eager. Intelligent. He enjoyed and thrived with healthy competition, in tennis, in football, and in adulthood in business. This is a very sad loss, for his family and for his classmates.
