Message: Russ, you were truly one of a kind. What a joy it was working with you at USAirways. We will miss you. Go in peace and spread your love.

Message: Well I'm sure going to miss Russ. He was my best friend and a wonderful peaceful man. It is truly a shame that since he retired he really never had a chance to enjoy himself and his toys ( tractors) and his critters. We will all miss him dearly.
