From: Debbie McArthur
Relation: Kimberley
It is amazing how a soul like Russ’s has left such an imprint in my Life. I knew him in the way that growing up in Kimberley you “knew” a lot of people… as soon as I heard of his passing, even though I have not seen Russ in years, I could so picture him with his curly hair and gentle smile. Barb, you and I reconnected recently and I send my sincerest condolences at this time. Take comfort in knowing how many people were blessed by his presence.
