I worked with Russ from 1981 to 89 at Robson & Woese

He was a great guy a great mentor he had to be in his 40s and I was probably in my 20s at that time

He was a great design and a "sound" design engineer

at the beginning 1981 I never thought he liked me. But later, we became good friends. I had a beer with him a year ago at twin trees 2.
And we reminiscent our days


I am very sorry about his demise. He was a great guy.

I was extremely honored when the entire family knew me, even though I did not know them

They all said that they talked about me and that was hair raising for me

God rest his soul and I sincerely mean that

If the family members can call me at 315-468-1113 I would love to have lunch or dinner with your people

He was a very courteous and a humble person

Dear Morison Family,

I worked many projects with Russ over the years. He was my "go to guy" for sound and electrical design.
May God , who calls our dear ones home, be ever close to you, may he enfold you with his LOVE and bring you comfort too.
WITH SYMPATHY

I cherish my memories of growing up on Orion Path across the street from you guys. We had a marvelous childhood. Your parents were both so wonderful. Your dad, like mine, worked to support the family so the moms could stay home and organize activities for the kids. It was an idyllic childhood. I'll always remember your dad so fondly.
