Russell was one of the most gentle souls I ever met. I was blessed to know him. He was always coming up with small gifts for others to give them pleasure. He sent cards and cared so much for others. He will be truly missed by so many.

The very pleasant Russell will be missed by us all involved with TSLT and the Opera association. Russell would always keep up with the Newspaper reports of the various Operas and Musicals he would work with and always cut it out and made sure that the theaters received a copy for their records. Russell was always positive and optimistic for every show he worked with and would deliver a happy smile to all he met. we'll miss you Russell, rest in peace you beautiful man.
