I really loved being a friend with Harold. He had so much knowledge & was willing to share. He was a generous person and I miss him in many ways, but his great hugs the most.

May the family of Mr. Rusch receive the comfort and strength needed at this time of bereavement. Also there will be a time when all causes of death and the grievous pains it brings will be abolished forever by our Heavenly Father.

John and Jody, I have one particular good memory of your father I want to share with you. Jody, when we were at Fredericksburg one summer day. Grandpa and I sat outside of a store while you girls where shopping. He shared a lot of fond memories with me. That is how I remember him.

God Bless, Patty and Jesse Finch

You and Aunt Mary provided very fond and fun memories for me throughout the years. Especially at Lake Travis and New Year's Eve. You will certainly be missed...

GP as we all called him was a kind hearted, never met a stranger kind of man. He was gentle, but firm when he shook your hand or looked into your eyes. I will always remember how sweet GP was to me.I loved the time we spent together he used to hold me so tight i thought i would break. I have many fond memories of GP including our many dinners at Landry's, and our hours trying to figure out puzzles in the living room and doing art project or coloring in the kitchen. I'm going to miss that sweet man may he rest in peace. Love you very much GP.... - Megan Rusch
