Russ, my Acme mentor and partner. I learned so much from you. I often reflect on some of the fun rides we shared on service calls. You referred to me as Kemosabe. Happ trails Russ.

I am so sorry for the loss of Russell. Him and Roger were my neighbors for many years growing up. Many memories of playing together outside.
