I had not worked with Russell very long but he came to be a good friend. He almost always had a smile on his face and talked of his children often. I miss our conversations. Everyday at the start of our shift Russell would tell me he needed screens for his maachine. He was a good friend and I miss his joking around and smiling face. May God bless you and hold you in his hands.
