I served with Mc (as I called him) in the US Army. We were the best of friends. When we had time off we would leave for the weekend and just go some where. One time we went up in the Smoky Mountins. He had never seen hills like that before. We were stationed at Ft Bragg, N.C. We also served in the Dominican Republic. After our Army days, I visited him several times. I also called him very often. We would talk about cars and racing. He helped me repair problems on my vehiciles, just by telling me what to do over the phone. I miss him very much especiallly the phone conversations.
Best of all Sue told me he gave his life to Jesus, I know he is in a better place in Heaven. Praise the Lord!
Rest In Peace Russell , You will be missed , I Nathan remember you so well from my early days hanging around your father’s shop. Prayers go to the family.
