You are still missed, Uncle Russ. We speak of you all the time at family gatherings and hold you close in our memories and our hearts.

Thank you, Uncle Russ, for being who you were – a very cool guy who wasn't afraid to offer an opinion if you thought it would help, and a person who also told me to exceed my own standards of excellence. Whether you knew it or not, you made a significant impact in my life. I love you.

Another year, and still remember the great conversations I had with Mr. S. A great man that's remembered long after his passing.

Russ continues to leave his legacy on the World - even after 3 years. Seems like it was yesterday - a great man indeed.

Sorry to hear about Russ' death. In the 1930's as a five year old I lived just south of Russ' folk's farm. His sister Evelyn was a very important fifth grade teacher in my life. I have recognized her in a high school scholarship we have set up in Ashton, Illinois.

To Brigitte, Mark and the girls.... My deepest sympathy to all of you. I was sorry to learn of Russ's passing and have many found memories of past times shared... He was a special person that touched many lives in different ways. My you find comfort in your memories as the days go on...

Mr. Semmler was a great man. He was a client for many many years, but during that time he became a great friend. Our visits consisted of 5% business and 95% reflection on life and personal issues. He helped me many times with situations in my life, and made a huge difference. I'm going to miss those visits so much. May God be with all the family and friends dealing with this great loss, but what a great man and a great legacy. Someone once said; We should all be ashamed to die unless we have made a significant contribution in life. Mr. S made that contribution.....
