So sorry to hear of Russ’ passing. During GHS years and somewhat after we did many things together: fish, dune buggies at Silver Lake, and just hang out.
Russ was a true friend. I last touched base with him after a devastating hurricane a couple of years ago. He told me he was fine and no damage to his belongings.
RIP my friend.

Russ was a close friend of my dad’s. John Thompson. On a whim I just google searched his name and found this. He was a great inspiration in my life, I so wish I had stayed in touch. My condolences go out to his family

My condolences to Deb and to his family. Russ was a great graphics designer. We fished together and he did work for several of my businesses. Met him when I moved to Fort Pierce In 2007. Above all else, he was. a GREAT person. The phrase “THE NICEST GUY YOU’LL EVER MEET” comes naturally when thinking about Russ.
