I didn’t know you dad or husband long. I would say hi to him or have a brief chat with him as I visited my mom in Memory Lane for the last 7 months. When she was at end stage and in the last weeks of life she was moved right down the hall from Harry.

I always enjoyed talking with Harry. 2 nights before my mom passed, Harry wanted to give me an old wooden cigar box. Nurse Linda reminder him he couldn’t give items away. The morning my mom passed 3/8, Harry was up and in his chair. He could see I was upset and he chatted with me. He said he was sorry about my mom. As my sister and I left that morning again, we stopped to say good-bye and he offered us condolences and I could see his eyes were glistening with tears.

I thought so fondly of Harry these last few months as I got to know him and his act of kindness in my worst hours truly showed the kind of person he was. May he RIP. He sounds like a true treasurer. I’m sorry for your loss.

I will always remember Russ as one of my favorite Uncles growing up. Unfortunately as years went by we never got to see each other. Prayers for Joyce, the kids, and his extended family.

A jack of all trades, it was always nice talking with you. You will be missed

We miss you

Some of my best memories oddly are us sitting in the living room watching TV just chatting, or the Florida trips, us kids driving you nuts, grandma wanting to stop and eat or rest, and you wanting to drive the full 1300miles in one shot with no stops. And i liked the times we got to shoot together though they were to few.

I know I annoyed you and angered you, I frustrated you and tormented you in equal measure and was at times just a total pain. But you always helped me, I wish we would have gotten along better, but I think I was just to close to home alot of the time and so was to underfoot. You gave me advice when I didn't want it and helped me when I did want it, I was never close to grandpa Steve either but I have both of your names so I guess in that I'll remember you both till my last day. Enjoy the quite, and have fun talking to your favorite racers up there. Bye grandpa. We'll watch after grandma for you.

Russ, you were a well respected in man in my eyes, thank you for allowing me what little time together we had to be part of it. You will be missed by many,. RIP

Grandpa you are already so very missed! I have so many fond memories of you, for that i am thankful. You were a talker that's for sure, it didn't matter if you knew a person for 30 seconds or 30 years you talked to them like an old friend. My favorite memory is of you getting a hold of the newest family member and feeding them ice cream. I can hear you now; come here kid you need to try this with that big ole smile on your face. Or you popping you teeth out at the newest baby either scaring the crap out of them or making them laugh uncontrollably. I love you and will miss you dearly. Until will meet again...

Grandpa, I am not sure where to even begin! You have always been there for us. I will never forget how you use to come into my work at Menards and just talk to me forever about anything and everything (i think you were bored) and how you use to drive me to fazolis when I needed a ride to work. You would always try to feed us kids fig bars, we didn’t really like them but we would still eat them lol. Whenever someone had a splinter they didn’t dare mention it around you, you would have your pocket knife ready and waiting! You are going to be soo missed! Holidays will not be the same anymore. I am so glad my last memory of you is when we visited you a couple weeks ago and you seemed to be doing very well and were laughing and joking around as usual. I love you so much, I hope you and April are having the time of your lives up there!

My most vivid memory of dad is the two of us laying on the freezing pavement in subzero temperatures replacing the starter on my oldsmobile. Dad did all the work I only held the flashlight and handed him tools, where the starter was located it was a pain in the ass to get to but dad never gave up or complained and we were both freezing. Dad was a selfless person always willing to help anyone no matter what the job was if you needed help he was the first one called and he never refused.. I miss you so much already, I hope you are having fun catching up with everyone. We will meet up again one day, In the meantime please watch over us and know you are loved and missed like crazy.

You will be missed sir. Spiritually you have moved on to your next adventure but your legacy will continue to flourish here on earth. Thank you for the memories “Russ”.

PS. Say hello to my baby girl for me.

We love and miss you grandpa! May you rest and enjoy all the things you loved from above watching over us all. We will carry on many of the things you enjoyed and appreciate all things that you taught us.

I miss you grandpa! I hope you are enjoying some racing, having some great laughs with your brothers and sisters and of course April! I remember being little and so excited to see you. I would jump up on your lap and from what I have been told...lol.. you would immediately grab nail clippers and clip my finger and toe nails...lol. You were always there for all of us no matter what! Rest easy and have lots of laughs up there!
