Russell spent so much time at our house when we were kids my Dad once asked him if he was one of his kids! 😋 Of course our relationships in the neighborhood (s) were like that. Many of us can remember those days and the many memories. Russell was known and loved by many of us. He was funny and brave, ok, he was a bad boy too. 😋 I still laugh and have good memories when I think of him. Bye my old friend. ☮️❤️✝️
Sending our deepest condolences to the family, so many wonderful memories of Russ, May y’all find strength and healing at this most difficult time
