With sadness and yet gratitude, I lost my father Russ today. He passed away peacefully. In sadness I will miss a truly kind and honest Man who stood beside me and my cherished sister Cathy. In gratitude I can cherish all the things he did for both Cathy and I as a loving and steadfast father and my best friend. We will truly miss him, but will remember his unwavering love. May he return to our loving mother Fran and spend eternity in happiness and peace he truly deserves
