Just wanted to say how sorry we are for your loss. Russ was truly one of the finest people in Eden. I will never forget when I first came to Eden and didn't know a sole. He was one of the first people that made me feel like I was one of the boys. We played a lot of softball together and I will never forget what a great friend he was. We haven't seen each other much in the last few years, but I know if I needed anything he would be there to help out. He will truly be missed. Ed and Ginny Jones

I just want to say that Russell was one of my heroes growing up in Draper.It meant so much to say that we are and were "Draper Boys".As I look back it was a great time we grew up in and Russell was big part of that time. Growing up at the Draper YMCA we used to have great games of baseball, basketball,ping pong and alot of Rook.I have always said that Russell was the best athlete I ever knew and I know alot of people will agree with that. I know that his family will miss him as we all will...you are in my thoughts and prayers Most of all he was...."my friend" May God Bless, Mark Ellis Draper Boy

Dot Booth Bush
Inadell and family, Isn't it funny how you'll remember a scene from so many years ago when you think of a certain person. I can so clearly see Russ standing in line at the cafeteria at Morehead. He wasn't with a group of his buddies, he was just standing there calmly waiting. He was so admired as an athelete and person in high school but he was the type to not even realize it. He had a quiet confidence that was unusual for a kid his age. But that was just the way he was. I pray that God's love will fill your hearts at this time of loss.
Jeannie Simms Carter
I admired him all through High School as a super athlete.He inspired me in ways he never knew.May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family.Being absent from the body is being home with God.Farwell,my friend.Skip

Inadell,Libby & Blair, I am so sorry to here of your loss. I didn't know Russ was sick. Inadell, I remember when I worked with you in Accounts Payable at Field years ago, how you so loved Russ and would go home every day at lunch to eat with him. I could always see in your eyes, just how much you truly loved him. You always beamed when you spoke of him. Please know you and your family, are in my thoughts and prayers. Time does help the pain, but nothing will ever take away the memories of the love you two shared. Love you, Angela Adkins Gordon

Russ was a great man. I remember the good times and conversations we had driving back and forth to Appalachian in my old 50 Chevy. Russ was the quarterback on our championship intramural football team at Appalachian. I enjoyed playing softball with him, especially the last time we played together in the over 40 league. I will continue to remember all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
