With deepest sympathy
Warmest thoughts and prayers! Russell was a special man! Will think of him every time I make a pan of cornbread.
Not sure we can share just one memory of Russ because we have so many. Some of our favorite ones happened on the cruise with our lake friends several years ago. Russ was Joe’s copilot the day the four of us took off in a rental car exploring on our own. What a great day we had. Rest in peace sweet man. Joe and Becky Wolf
