Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I will miss Rusty. He and June were always very good to me and my family. I remember the lessons that I learned in my high school Sunday school classes at Central Christian Church. I also remember he and June as great leaders of the CYF. Rusty always lived by the examples he set for me and for others.

Rusty was such a generous donor and supporter of the friends of hospice for over 27 years. We were glad that we could honor him and June at the Annual Poinsettia Ball several years ago. He will be missed.

I cannot put into words how sad I feel that Rusty has passed! Growing up he was my second father and my mentor! He was someone I could talk to about anything! I celebrate his life as he taught me so many things about loving others and being there for others no matter the circumstances. I will always have a warm place in my heart for my dear friend.
