Judy,
Russ was a great guy, he was one of the memorable people in the class of '73. Always kind, a great sense of humor I just saw you two at the reunion. He is on the other side and we will see him when we get to heaven. A rosary has been said to send comfort in this time.

Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again. John 5:28, 29 gives this assurance.

I loved my brother with all my heart. I remember when he was 3 years in just his Underoos and his holster and two guns chasing me all over to shoot me dead. A wonderful brother!
