My name is Ivan Winger. I worked for Northern Telecom for 33 years in Brampton. Back in 1966 when I started working at Northern Electric Russ was my first manager. I am so sorry to hear about his passing. He was well liked and I was better for having him as my manager. My deepest condolences to all the family. I only found out about Russ on Wed. Feb. 11 when chatting with another former Northern employee. My God bring you all peace and comfort.

We would like to send our condolences to the family on hearing of the death of Russ last week. We knew Russ from his home in our Cobourg condo when he would join in our Tuesday Coffee mornings, often contributing cakes and doughnuts, and enjoyed his quiet company.
