Alice, Sympathy to you & your Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Russ passing away. We will always remember Russ, when he played at the Elm Grove Legion. He would play a Polka and say this is for Pat & Gordy. We would be at the legion with Edgar & Merle Rolland.
Our Sincere Sympathy,
Gordy & Pat Rolland

He will be greatly missed in our family.
