I will always [be thankful for] the privilege of getting to know Russ a bit these past few years. I always saw him as an AUTHENTIC guy, but by hanging around [Russ with his close friends], it was remarkable just how authentic he really was. Russ was the Lord's version of a real man, the Lord's "John Wayne" so to speak ... he was rugged, but gentle; firm but soft; powerful yet weak; he was a man with a curious mind but a satisfied heart.
Perhaps that is it, perhaps that is exactly why I liked him - he had such a curious mind but such a satisfied heart. Russ was eager to learn and explore ways to help and engage for battle toward what was needed, YET he was at total peace with who he was and what God had him here to do.
Like many, I will miss Russ.
