Russ is/was a special first cousin. As I said, easy to be around and I enjoyed what little time we spent together growing up and later in life. As I see he has many friends and I would expect no less. Best memories were riding motorcycles in the mountains of Covelo. Russ had no fear and I still laugh when I think back on how much fun he had jumping those mountains. RIP Cousin
