    W5RB (SK)

    Today would have been his 56th birthday. Happy birthday, Russ, wherever you are.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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!
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    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.

    He was always a really nice guy whenever I interacted with him. Eat your greens, mid 50's is way too young.

    Rest In Peace. People younger than me passing is getting to be all too common.
