Betty, I am so sorry to learn about Bob’s passing. I just learned of it so I apologize for the delay in getting in touch. I will always remember the two of you riding on the River Trail and what fun the two of you had together on your bikes. He was a wonderful man.

To the entire Russell family, I send my deepest condolences. He was special to you all and a wonderful person to know and love as you all did. I was unaware of Bob’s passing until just now. I was surprised and saddened. May each and every one of you find strength in knowing the great times you had with Bob throughout his life.
