    Russ was always a super nice guy and I enjoyed catching up with him at our high school reunions. He invited my husband and son to North Carolina to hunt with him and insisted they stay at his home there. Russ couldn't have been more welcoming to them and I'll never forget that.

    Russ,
    I only knew you briefly, in the school year 1966-67, and at our 50th High School reunion in 2017. That said, I considered you a good friend, and so did my wife, Diane Simkins whom you, and I, knew in High School as Diane Wolf. Your kindness and charm and your affection were parts of your personality that I will always cherish. Diane always, until her passing, spoke well and highly of you. May you rest in peace!
