Our most sincere condolences to Conrad, Linda and Wanda on the loss of your father. There must be a celebration in Heaven, because when Uncle Russell and Aunt Ruby were together, there was always a good time and plenty of laughter. I can still recall them picking and telling jokes. When I think about all of the characters in our family and the great celebrations we had, Uncle Russell was always there in the middle of it. Thanks, Uncle Russell, for the good times and for your service to this nation. They don't make them like you and your brothers and sister anymore. God speed.

Conrad, Linds & Wanda I extend my sympanthies for the loss of you Daddy. I sent a few photos that you may never have seen.
After returning from the war your Dad built a house down the road. I was about 3 years old and my Uncle Russell gave me plenty of attention. I have fond memories of those times and later in my teens when working for Him on the tobacco farm. He always had a twinkle in his eye and was quick with a joke.
Congradulations Uncle Russell in my mind you will rest easy.
