To My Uncle Russell,
I don’t know where to began
He accepted me the day I was adopted
He's always been there for me and respected me
I started getting much closer to him
He let me live and work for Center tv as a tech
I joined the Scotch Plain Fire dept. He retired before I join
He help me get and would tell me fire stories , which we had in common
He taught me about life and so many more things, I’ll never forget that.
Uncle Russ and I did a lot traveling to wisconson, maine, and florida (naples) of course
I loved traveling with him. I will miss that.
He was great guy even when he took me for a hike that he said would take 20min and it turned into an 1hour hike
But its all good, I loved going place with him, and just sitting at the rv smoking cigars and on our laptops
He will always be remembered and never forgot
From Robert
