I want to give my condolences and thoughts to Doug and Deb, Char, Holly and the rest of Russell’s family. I was always fond of Russell and wanted to see him before this. I just found out this week he was sick. Coincidently, I was in a bad car accident the morning of March 4th on my way to work. I like to think the timing is not a coincidence and that maybe Russell was looking out for me. I will miss him. I really really wanted to speak with him before he left us. Please know my love and thoughts are with all of you. Love, Wendy Chapin

So many memories of Russell that make me smile! One of the things I loved about him was his commitment as a Dad and his love for his children. He could always make you laugh with that dry sense of humor and he was always so real in his approach to everyone around him and to life. Rest in peace sweet man. Much love to his loving family.
