Our hearts are broken and we will miss Russell greatly. He was a wonderful person and one could ask for no better friend. Jerry will miss his verbal sparing partner. I will miss his smile and kindness. There was no greater friend than Russell. The love between him and Inez was beautiful, We are praying for God to grant peace and comfort to the entire family. We will Russell.
