Russell Sr., Lillie, and family you all are in our thoughts and prayers. No one should have to experience the loss of one's child. Furthermore, the same is true for beloved siblings. May GOD bless you all and get you to the day when the pain subsides and the fond memories take over.
Sincerely,

Hello. I'm very sorry for your loss. I knew Russ and played softball with him at Geico. My husband played on a team with him also. I have fond memories of him & I can still hear his calming voice in my head. I hope it brings you comfort to know you are not alone, he will be missed. If they have softball in heaven I look forward to playing again with him someday.
Thinking of you,
Julie & Brian Arbogast

I still remember the first evening I met Russ. He came in at the tail end of evening interviews for GEICO and was hired soon after. I actually found a picture of him at our wedding, but he was off to the side - avoiding catching the garter....Years of softball...In a world of "fake," Russ was about as "genuine" as you get. When I tell my kids about topics like friendship and loyalty, Russ is truly a shining example. Rest in peace, my friend.

Janice, George and family, Russell was one of a kind. He was a great friend, co worker and softball buddy. We had many good times and lots of laughs. I hope you all find comfort and peace in knowing he lived life to the fullest and enjoyed his family and friends. May God bless you all and wrap his arms around you.

It might not be appropriate for me to write here as I am family; however, it made me feel very good to know Rusty was thought of so well. It has been some time since I last saw him, but I have pictures... one when he was about six months old and another at one of our family reunions in MD.
Thank you for all your tributes, and for remembering our family during this time.
I know Rusty is resting in peace in Paradise.

It may not be appropriate for me to sign this guest book as I am family, but I was moved by the many tributes I've read here. It makes me feel so very good to know how much Rusty was loved and how much he will be missed. Though I have not seen him in some time, I do have photos from one of our family reunions in MD, and an 8x12" when he was about six months old.
Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness at this time.

Russell was a great man and even better friend. I will fondly remember the times we spent together at GEICO and Batley Ct. He may be gone, but he certainly isn't and won't be forgotten. My sympathy and thoughts go out to your family.
