" We didn't know Russ long, we just moved on the block where he lived. So very nice, he introduced himself with his warm smile and asked if we needed any help to just ask. On his walks, he would always stop by to say Hello and chat a bit with us about the Cubs. He was so pleasant and funny. He will be missed, but he is at peace in Heaven where he is happy. Prayers to the family."
