Many years ago your father picked me up so I could watch you while he and your mother went out. He was always so kind. That showed in his love of you! May you know the peace that he has found.
Your babysitter, Deb
Your Father was so caring. When I had Surgery on my ankle he would come over every week to visit. We took sveral trips to see the Indians. So many memories of fun times. He was my BIG Brother. May he rest in peace.
RIP Russ and God bless you all.
