So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.
Father A Light
A light from our household has gone
a voice we loved is stilled,
a place is vacant in our home,
which never can be filled.
God gave us a Daddy
A Daddy that never grew old, he was always there with a helping hand,help us Daddy now to understand and to accept the plan.
We miss you daddy, our hearts are sore,as time goes by , we will miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take our Daddy's place..
I love you daddy and wish I could tell you just one more time more
Russ was always glad to see us and us him..he always had a good story to tell..I remember one story in particular Russ had been bitten by a rattle snake..he never bothered with a Dr..tough man..He would see me and say the pretty little Maynard girl..He took such care of his yard..He aged out..luckier than so many..95 yrs old..Rest easy Russ..

From the sounds of this thunder over the last few nights, sounds like you & Grandpa Fred might need to simmer down just a tad!! 😆 Although many hearts are surley saddened at this time, may your' s my friend be light & filled with joyous reunions... ❤😇🕆
From Jerry:
My dad, Leahmon, and Russ were good friends. Russ would come and visit with my dad and they loved talking about 'old times'. Randy lives in our area and we are sorry for your loss.
We met Russ three years ago he was such a delight very sweet man. Our condolences to your family. Prayers to all.
Take peace, love and joy with you on this new journey. Thank you for always treating me and my children and grandchildren with love and kindness and always greeting us with a smile. You will be missed by many and never forgotten.
Bonnie and families. I only got to meet your Daddy once, about 3 years ago. We sat on his front porch with you and Leona for quite some time. I so enjoyed his stories and the way he used his hands. He sat on "his" chair and just begged us to stay longer. Always remember that when we lose someone we love their memory becomes a treasure! That treasure stays buried deep in our heart and will never be lost. Your Daddy will be with you always. Love to all, Glenna
I am Ronnie Joe son I met Russ a time or two and he was a carding and had some funny jokes and stories
Will miss you always
Russ was a good friend. He always had a story to share. He ask about our parents every time we saw him. He would stop and visit me at the Post Office. I know he will be missed by his family and his many friends. Hugs to all his family.
Prayers for the family and friends who knew him and loved him very much. I only got to meet him 3 or 4 times but i loved to his stories and jokes he had abd he had plenty of them.
The Jones family have my deepest sympathy. I hope the Bible’s words bring you comfort: Revelation 21:4 - And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
Rest in peace Uncle Russ.You were my favorite uncle growing up.You will be missed dearly. Love you. Love Sandy Crawford and my family and Robert Crawford.
Rest In Peace
We Love You an Will Miss You Very Much
