This news really makes me sad. Russ and I were Marine Corps friends on Okinawa. We worked in the same outdoor warehouse.
He drove our giant Forklift.
I have some pictures from Okinawa. I can send them and Email.
Some are posted on my Facebook.

We were very saddened to hear about Russ passing.He was someone who really lived every day to the fullest. Whenever we hear "oldies" played on the radio we will remember Russ.

As we travel this journey known as life, certain people cross our paths. Some of which just pass through and some of which you cling onto, for some unknown reason. Russ was one of those I clinged onto and the reason became clear.
His character, his heart, his family, and his understanding were unmatched. I thank God he entered my life for he gave me a part of my journey that I will never forget.
Eileen,Jason,Kelly,Jamie,Sadie,his extended family, and all those who were fornuate enough to have this man in their lives,will have many fond memories of this wonderful, funny, dedicated, and strong man, I know I will never forget Russ.
Thanks Buddy for all of it for you have given me more than I could have ever imagined.
