The Man, the Myth...the Legend. 'Russian' had a story to fit every occasion real or imagined. He will be sadly missed. He truly fit the category of 'one of a kind'. Heaven will welcome him home..because Hell is afraid he'll take over. RIP Russian. Your friends, Bob & Rena Pytlak

My dad knew Russian from Ringertown. A few years back, we were having dinner at Kings on Rt. 66, and in walks Russian. He sat down with us and we gabbed for a long time. My dad really enjoyed it. My sincere condolences to his family. RIP Russian.

I have known Russian since 1952, working on Tomer's tomato farm. He always kept things lively. The last I saw him was at the Wagon Wheel and told him I was moving to South Carolina, he simply said Why? He was well known all around Town.

I met Russian when I was a young girl. He was friends with my Mom. He knew everyone and always had a smile to share. May he rest in peace. Sympathy to his family.
