Steve, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man and was always there for many. I always knew who to call to replace windows and he always did a wonderful job at whatever he did. God be with you and your family. Penny (Bedinger) Mann
Russell was a long time family friend and a all around great person to be around. Always a reason to smile with him. Thoughts and prayers to Steve and the family
I loved seeing Uncle Russell because he always had a smile and made me laugh and always a tease. There was something special about him. unexplainable. The way he laughed, shook a little when he laughed, the way he teased. I don’t know how to explain it but if you knew him you know what I mean. Steve and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing him when I come home.
Russell is a person who will be missed. He always had a smile, was friendly and witty. I had a lot of good conversations and a fair amount of coffee with Russ. The times are changing with the passing of people like Russ, but luckily he lived in some very good times.
I will be making a donation to the Christian Church in Witt in memory of Russell.
Sincerely,
Jack E. Tosetti
