We both went to grade school and high school with Russ and had many happy times with him. So sorry to hear of his passing.
Dear Millie and Anita,
You may not remember me. I am Max Weir’s daughter.
I am so sorry for your loss. Russ was wonderful! He helped so many schoolkids and potential teachers. I always think of him with a smile.
I am unable to attend services, but will be thinking of you all.
I know that my Dad will be overjoyed to have Russ join him in Heaven.
Sincerely, June
Russ has brought his cars to our shop for service for years. Always brought us great stories and occasional treats. We will remember him as a caring compassionate man whose family meant everything to him. He often came in singing and the smell of cigar announced his arrival. He will be missed!!!
