Russ lived life to the fullest.

He was kindhearted, a skilled carpenter, enjoyed reading, and loved listening to all genres of music. His work ethics were impeccable, and he had worked since he was 15 years old.

He loved his family and especially loved and enjoyed spending time with his son. The Next time you see a “Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake”, please think of Russ, and smile, because he definitely had a love for them.
