We have all been fortunate recipients in some way to what he so wholeheartedly gave. He was born in Cleveland,Ohio,December 6, 1942. “A day earlier and a year later than Pearl Harbor”, he would tell you. He was the second son of Howard “Bud” and Mary Russell.

She always had a dog, or a Kittie, that usually ate better than her. Over the last twenty years she battled numerous, and ...Read More
