What a great Man and Eureka Icon who touched many generations of EC and EHS alums and the Eureka community as a whole. I don't think I have ever met a more generous and caring person. We are all blessed to have known him, and to know him was to love him. God bless you all in this time of such great loss. Our loss is heaven's gain, and we will see him again someday.

Russ-make sure the road is completed for the rest of us will soon be traveling to join you. Will miss you more than I can express.

As sad a moment as this is, I can't help but smile, as I know Russ is smiling back.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your love one. When the enemy death strikes our grief can be great.
