    The kindest dearest person. Always the same, no matter what he was going through he always thought of others first. I could never imagine a sweeter more loving uncle. He meant the world to me and I miss him already.
    Sending all our love and prayers to you Rusty and Fran.

    He was such a kind man. I always felt welcome in Russ & Pearl’s home as a teenager. He lived a long life surrounded by those who loved him. You’ll all be in my thoughts as you say your final good-byes on Saturday. I am so grateful that families can be forever …
