Barb and family.
I wish you all strength as you move forward in your live’s without Russ. At the end of the day, we can not control all of the events in the world around us; however, we can control the way in which we react to them. I hope that each of you can take this huge stumbling block and turn it into stepping stone(s).
All the best to each of you as your live’s start down a new path. My thoughts are with you.
With empathy.

It was profound disbelief when I received news of Russ’s passing on Easter weekend doing what he loved to do. I have many fond memories and will truly cherish our numerous Kootenay Lake fishing discussions. To Barb, Kenny, Glenna and your extended families, please accept my deepest condolences. Russ was the kind of man that was easy to appreciate and respect for a multitude of reasons.
