Such a kind soul and gentle person that I enjoyed calling a friend. "Russ" was a delight to know and to share conversation. His true inner spirit evident through his soft blue eyes.
Brother we have walked many steps alone and together over the years. I will treasure our memories and all the things you done for our mom and siblings. You were brave to fight for our country and to fight the last battle that was lost in the end. You were very lucky to have had your daughters and family by your side. They miss you so much. We are keeping a close watch out for them and will continue to for years.
