"My brother was quite a guy. He was always there to lend a hand when needed. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed. Some days he just drove me crazy with his non-stop talking, it was hard to get a word in edge-wise. I'm gonna miss that now. I remember fishing at Rollingstone Lake all of ours years growing up and yeah, he caught the most fish almost every time! He would get mad when we played Yahtzee as I usually won! He was a pretty darn good cook too! He had a heart of gold and many, many friends. I also loved getting those fresh raspberries every year from his garden. RIP Russ, I love you and will miss you always. Your "favorite" sister, Sue"
