The father I never had and the friend I aspire to be. Your loss is felt by those who knew "Rusty". I am a better man having knowing him.

My condolences to Orestes family. A fellow MUNI employee that helped me learn the ropes of driving a MUNI bus. I remember when I worked the 43 Masonic and would sit in front of his house when he was outside chatting with him on my layovers. He will be greatly missed.
