??RIP Russell ??????
You will be missed. ?
A spirit like his will be missed by all, even those who never met him. My deepest condolences to all his loved ones and to all who were blessed to know him.
It’s easy to see he was a very distinguished person. I wish I had known him. His face says it all. RIP
Dad,
I will always treasure each day and each moment I shared with you! I miss you so much! You inspired alot of people with your knowledge and wisdom. Our talks were always very special to me and long (haha). You taught me so much that I will take with me into my future as a mother, a wife and as an individual in life. I would like to be selfish and have you here just to see you and hold you and talk to you. But, you are in a better place now and I know that. You will always be with me. I love you Dad! xoxoxo
I light a candle each day for you… Rest in peace Dad
Say Hi to mom for me too…..
Just missing you Dad very much!!! I love you. xoxo
