Russell ---- Steve and the boys still miss you terribly. When your name comes up I remember clearly the last ALS One Gala you were able to attend and how strong you were just to be there for the start of the evening. So sorry we lost you so young.

Hey Russ, I love you and miss you, I wish I could give you a hug.

I´m so proud of you and want you to know that. You have amazing accomplishments going way back.

I remember telling you many years ago how proud I was of you for coming out and choosing a lifestyle that was not so well accepted by society at the time. You have by far the best marriage and relationship of anyone in the family.

And how fantastic that you two persevered with all of the challenges of getting the boys way back then. How proud you must be of how wonderful they both turned out.

I think back of how many places you guys lived and OMG how impeccable every one of them was decorated with your amazing talent and style.

I don´t know anyone who´s lived in as many places as you other than friends in the military or with the FAA. I love all of the artwork that you created and proudly displayed around your homes.

Pop would always brag about your amazing homes and I am pretty sure he slept in every piece of furniture you ever had.

And speaking of homes how you jumped into the real estate market and rose to the top.

I don´t know why, but every time I see the movie of the Grinch with Jim Carrey, and he yells out "somebody´s fabulous" I think of you. I don´t know if you mimic this at one point or it is just in my mind, but it certainly sounds like something you would say because it´s true you are fabulous.

I also want to thank you for your relentless efforts in caring for Mom, I know she appreciates it and is well settled in at such a great place.

I just wanted you to know I´m thinking about you, I miss you and love you

Your Brother,

Lynn

Where to start??? Russ, Rusty back the , was my first love, sharing almost 10 years of partnership, friendship, ups and downs. Our partnership ended, but our friendship, love, and respect for each other never did, and it never will. All my love and respect to his entire family

Stephen and family, I am so sorry for your loss . Rusty as I knew him was always smiling and happy. Rusty was most happy when his boys joined he and Stephen to make a family. Rusty was kind , very easy to talk with. He will be so missed. I hope the family can find some peace in how Rusty lived his life. My condolences.

Russell ---- I had the pleasure to meet you at several charitable events your beloved Stephen brought you to at the Granite City Electric tables. You were a joy to meet and be with many times. Your family and he will miss you terribly Russell.. They loved you dearly and without reservation. After your diagnosis, the positive attitude you exhibited in spite of the news was beyond amazing and inspiring. Thank you being a part of my work life through Stephen and personal life with my wife Meghan each time we met. It was pretty easy to see why your husband fell in love with you.
God Bless you Russell.

My dear and wonderful friend, Rusty! My brother, Matthew texted me to confirm me about heartbreaking news... I am so deeply sad. I never never forget his beautiful smile on the way. He always came to visit to my house 88 Stratfield Road in Fairfield, Connecticut with Matthew way back in old days. My house was sold last 2021 of June.

He went my brother´s wedding in Maine with Matthew in 1993 of Summer. It was wonderful memories.

I now sorely miss you in Heaven. Love you, my dear pal.

Russell, it was so good to work alongside you. You made me feel so welcome when I was the newbie, you were very inviting. Thank you for that. I'm so sorry that this horrible disease took hold of you, I hope that you can rest in peace now, you've been through a lot, you sweet man.

You lit up a room when you walked in. I always looked forward to the days you were in the office. Your bright smile was so contagious. Great times with you and Steve and all the fun at our Christmas parties. My deepest sympathy for you Steve and your sons.
