Uncle Russ. That is how I knew him since about age six! He was one of those larger than life people that if you are very lucky you get to meet in your life. Russ was also part of that dynamic duo I always knew as Aunt Kathy&Uncle Russ. ( It is like one sentence ).... That's how you say it! They made a great team and were blessed with over 43 years together. Russ shot the video for my own wedding back in 1989, and even that chore he had a great time with quizzing all the family and guests. Russ was a true good guy, family man and friend. To say he will be missed is an understatement. His love and memories will go on within all of us. ❤️
Love his memorial video. So sorry he has passed. He always had something funny to say.
