Russell will be greatly missed.
I loved seeing him at the dentist office these past 20 plus years.
He was a wonderful story teller, and always left me with a smile.
Love from Chris

Russell always had a smile to share, his sense of humor was for all who knew him. He was all about family and I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He and Gary will be able to swap stories of mischief and fun as they join their family in land of no pain and sadness. Deb (Columbia)

I got to know Russell through his nephew David 30 some years ago. He was a fun loving individual who I always looked forward to seeing on my many visits to Columbia over the years. I will miss him.

Russell was one of the most entertaining people I know. His nicknames, endless stories, experiences and his card playing always made you laugh and wonder what he was going to do next. Yelling 7 with an Ace, jack & deuce. You will be missed.

Our hearts are filled with sorrow for an awesome man whom filled our lives with an abundance of memories, laughter, love and just being there for me and my family when we needed him the most. I will miss those visits, talks, fun times, but what he,has left me with is how he model a person should be and showed love and respect at all times. We will miss you Uncle Russell, but I know you are at peace and you and mom, and Grandpa and Grandma Grant are together again with other loved ones too. Love you and rest in peace, Uncle Russell, definitely one of a kind and he will be very missed.
