I grew up in Burbank with Russ and his brother John. Back in 2008 I was trying to find John and found Russ. We talked on the phone for hours since it had been easily 30 years since I last saw him. I promised him a visit from Colorado but never got around to it. He was really a great guy. God Speed Russel
