Russ truly was superman. He had a huge heart and always went the extra mile in everything he did. I cannot express how much I will miss him. My deepest sympathy goes to Yvonne, Jason & Tonya. Russ talked about you all the time and you meant everything to him. The Lord must have had a really important mission for Russ that made him call him Home so quickly.

Wow! There are so many memories and laughs. He was a wonderful man. He was my supervisor for a long time. I was very lucky to have him. He was very fair and caring. The funniest thing i can think of is when i ask him for a raise and he lifted my chair. I thought i was going to bust a gut laughing. Of course everytime i got a new cell phone he had to show me how to work it. I will never forget him. I love him and his very sweet wife. They made such a cute couple. Yvonne we love you and will always be here for you. Keep the FAITH. Love Ya,
Rhonda

I saw Russ on an occasional visit to Nashville over the 16 years that i have worked for BS/FS. Anytime that I had a chance to talk to Russ, he always smiled and was upbeat and wanted to know how he could help me. In this fast paced world Russ seem to be able to slow things down and get you to relax. I thought that was a very unique trait and it was much appreciated. I think that it also speaks well of what king of man Russ was and how fortunate I was to know him. I will miss him. Steve

Russ was the greatest always, and anyone who knows him will surely know he's in heaven where he's earned that destiny by the way he lead his life for others. When you look in the dictionary don't be surprised if some day under the word "integrity" that you'll see Russ's name as part of the description because his mission in life was to be the best he could be for others. Our thoughts and prayers are with Yvonne and family who will miss him more than words can say. Remember the good times you will see him again someday. God bless! Al Finnerty & team Customer & Friend

Russ, while I have known you slightly for about 12 years, since working with you on EntireNet and on SAP I have come to know you much better. Thank you for always having time (and answers) for my many questions. You were the GO-TO man for so many people in so many different departments here because you seemed to know everything. Every customer I ever talked with that knew you had nothing but praise for you. Thank you Russ; you were a shining star for the company.
Yvonne, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I can only imagine how deep and wide is the hole in your hearts and lives. May God give you strength and comfort.

Yvonne, we have shared emails several times over the years, but have never met in person. I am so sorry I will likely meet you due to the passing of your partner in life and my friend, Russ. Russ and I shared many good times together, mostly in the work force where we shared our mission of customer support. I will always recall a seminar Russ and I attended in Akron years ago and smile as he wore the jacket he won at that event...I used to tell him I desreved it more...HA! God Bless!

Russ (Superman) My Hero & Best Friend. He was a Superman to us all. I will miss him dearly and my prayers reach out to Yvonne and the family. My best memory is when he would give me advice and if I chose a different path he would always tell me �told you so�. I learned to take his advice. Russ was not only my Hero at work, but he was my Hero as a friend. We worked together for many years and currently we were partners on a project. His knowledge, strength and expectations will be carried on as a part of my appreciation for what he has done for me. May his happiness and positive attitude carry on for all of us.

They allowed her to live with them (once even after Tanya was married!), took great care of her, and treated her like their own. We were so lucky that God gave you both to her while she was in Nashville. Thank you for sharing your life and love with her. Our prayers are with you all. Russ will be greatly missed.

Russ was everyone's favorite person to work with at BFS. He knew how to get the job done from beginning to end, not sometimes - everytime! He was the true "closer" for a lot of the sales force. He was polite, honest, resourceful and most of all respectful. From the sales and dealer side, he was well respected and much relied on. I know internally Russ was looked to for guidance and advice. He was a Rock and we will miss him. God Bless Russ and his family.
