    Mary
    I was saddened and shocked when I got the call about Russ passing. When we retire we always say we will get together and we mean it but we all think we have all the time in the world and now it is too late. I worked with Russ for many years in London and at the Bruce. As you know we had our own extended family at the Bruce and Russ names it the BUDS system. Russ was always the guy willing to lend a helping hand and it was a pleasure to be around him. I am proud to call him my Buds. He was always welcome at Xanadu cottage. I am devastated not to be able to be back in London for the funeral or visitation but my thoughts are with you and your family in your time of sorrow.
