I was very shocked to pick up the paper and find that Russ had died. My prayers go out to his family. I worked with Russ and his daughters years ago at U-save foods. I really loved working for Russ and working with Becky and Chris. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was not only a Boss he was my friend. May God Bless you through this difficult time.......
