I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Rusty often reminded me of a big brother while we were in high school, even though he was just a year ahead. His smile and humor will certainly be missed in this world.

I am so very sorry to hear of Rusty's passing. My thoughts and prayers to his family. I will remember him always.

Don, Gloria, and Family:

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Russ; I met Russ a number of times when we visited your house at Christmas through the years. I was always impressed with his wit and smile. He made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you all of you.

Don, Gloria, Donja & Tina,

I am so thankful to have you as my second set of parents and adopted family. I wish I had been able to say goodbye to Rusty. He was a very special and important part of my childhood. We enjoyed so many laughs at the Lake, holidays, and just hanging out. Rusty always challenged me and made me a smarter, stronger person. I will remember his laugh and smiling face.
My love to all of you.
