I'm sorry I will be out of town and won't be able to attend the services.
What I will remember most about Russell is when I got to work in the morning and found that he was the boss I knew it was going to be a good day.
I'm really going to miss you Russell, you were a good friend.

To my dear family,
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ richly bless you and protect you during this time of mourning. Christine and I send our prayers for you all and wish we could be with you and the others to lay Uncle Russ to rest.
I loved Uncle Russ very much and enjoyed his smile and spending time with him. He was an inspiration to me in the way he cared for his family, and he always will be.
We send you our love,
