I have known and worked with Russell for over 25 years. It's hard to believe that he is no longer with us. I can still picture him at work in a white shirt and tie while the rest of us wore more casual clothes. Russell was the best I have ever seen at his particular job. His thoroughness and attention to detail, along with his no-nonsense attitude, was a perfect fit for his position at work.
Out of the office environment Russell had a softer side. Behind that "all business" exterior was a person who had a heart of gold and a sense of humor. I knew him to be a loving husband and a devoted father. Russell will be missed by all.
I'm glad to have known him.

Russell and I went to elementary, junior and high school together.
How tragic it is to have a man leave this world at such a young age.
