Today would have been his 56th birthday. Happy birthday, Russ, wherever you are.

That's pretty young in the grand scheme of things.

It always makes one stop and think when someone younger than you are dies.

Based on our correspondence here, Russ seemed to be a pretty good fellow. He left us way too soon. Good DX to you, radio bravo!

Russ was really a nice guy, even to me. I hit 57 in Feb, so now when the yung 'uns die, my brain freezes in abject fear and I'm really glad to wake up the next mornin'.

Bracket a year either way around your age, and note how many friends, acquaintances, colleagues, relatives and anecdotal 'friend of friends' are dying. The number increases every year... :(

Russ was an interesting character, and a regular contributor over in the Swamp. Knowledgeable and friendly, I am sure he will be missed by many.

One of the many I miss. I imagine when Albi talks to him, Russ is trying to figure out what the fuck he is saying, as there are no Thesaurus's in ham heaven. RIP and HB. I hope you get laid by the angels.
