Expressing Condolences:

While Russ now rests in peace. May the Love he had for you comfort you and give you strength.

Sharing Memories:

Russ put meat on my table, (the only time in my life I butchered a deer) and he gave me the chance to get to know him while I worked with(for) him. Wonderfull Human Being!

....Yeah, leave it to Russ to put a smile in my face even as I weep at his passing.

With much respect for all who knew and loved him, in return, may the spirit that expressed itself in his laugh and smile express itself from within you for all your days.

Much Love

Richard,



I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I can not imagine what it would be like to loose a parent at such a young age. You have to be strong for your family. Know that God had a mission for him on this earth and that mission is complete.



Your classmates are here to support you in anyway possible

Cindy and kids,

My words are swallowed up, making it hopeless to write my thoughts. So I’ll just remind you that I love you and your family and I’ll keep you in my heart during your time of need.

No, it wasn’t the smile I remembered it was his mischievously beautiful eyes.

I love you

Mildred

The last time I saw him he was making fun of me, laughing so hard that he couldn't tell me why he was laughing at me. To this day, I really don't what it was. Everytime I saw him he was laughing. That was a good thing, in every aspect. There is nothing anyone can say that is comforting enough to Cindy, RJ, Manual and Richard but we all are with you and if you need anything just call.

Cindy & Family

Russ was a great guy! He certainly did have "one of kind personality" , Always Smiling and always Happy. We will never forget that "laugh", he always had a way of bringing a smile to everyones faces. He will be truly missed and loved. Now he can rest in a peaceful and better place.

our love is with all of you!

love always

Gone Fishing!

Russ I am going to miss you a great deal. You were my best friend when we were growing up and you’ll be my family forever. You have always been there when I needed you. You are too young to leave us. I will never forget all the fishing trips we went on and we ate what we caught, sometimes that was not a good idea when we only had a mud catfish. I have a lot of memories of you. I am grateful for all of those years of which you have been apart of. Now God has welcomed you with open arms, I love you brother. May God be with you until we meet again. Say hi to my Dad, Mom, Lorraine and Mike for me. I will miss you!



Cindy,

You and your children are in our prayers. May the Lord be with you to carry you through this most difficult time. His life on earth was just too short and I am going to miss him a lot. I am truly, truly sorry for your personal loss:(



Love your cousin & brother,
