Dear Rusty and Chrissy, You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your father.  He dearly loved you both.  I was shocked and so sorry to learn of his death.  Dandridge, Spotswood, Lisa, Phil, Mamaw, and I continue to hold you dear in our thoughts and prayers.Deborah Semb

RIP, Mr Handsome, which is what all the Belle Haven ladies called Russ.  Will never forget his "crazy pants martini parties", or his marauding polo buddies from the UK.  Great memories of a good neighbor.

One of the true kind souls I was fortunate to have known. You will be missed, Russ Hanna.

I'm proud to have known Russ.
A sincere and wonderful guy.
His recent gradchild was a real source of joy for him.
My best to his family.
Jim McGuinness

Very sorry to learn of Russ's passing. I enjoyed watching horse races and attending boating events with him. I also had the pleasure of working with Russ, who was a talented designer and whose works remain in the greater Washington DC area. My prayers are with Russ and my sympathies to his family.

My condolences for the loss of a class act and a very nice guy.  Always enjoyed talking to him at the ODBC where he was a great contributor.

Our heart-felt condolences to Russ's family. We will also miss Russ, he has been a dedicated member of the Grounds Committee for the past eight years.

We will miss you and think of you every time we see a hibiscus tree! Sympathy and prayers to the family.

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Russ.  Our sincere sympathies to Russ' family.

We were deeply saddened by the sudden news of Russ's passing.  Our heart felt condolences to the Hanna family.  Russ was one of my Leukemia Cup Poker Run Volunteers...always showed up early to help with a smile and truly enjoyed volunteering for the event over the last 7 years.  He will be missed in many many ways.  Such a nice guy.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Russ.  There were so few people in this world that could truly appreciate the greatness of Ohio State Football. My wife and I are going to miss those conversations.  Russ, I hope you enjoy watching from the greatest seats imaginable.  Our deepest sympathies to the family.  We were glad he was part of the Buckeye Nation.

In this time, all my best to family and friends...  Peace ...

Sincere symapthies to Russ's family. Tom and I were very upset when we heard of his passing - much too early. 

We really enjoyed his companionship! He was a delight!

Rest in Peace,

Tom and Lauri Whalen

We where deeply saddened by the news of Russell's passing. Our heart felt condolences to you and your family.

Will miss being with you on SPring clean up and parties. Rest in peace.

Gonna miss those spring afternoons in the Byrd stadium parking lot after the NCAA lax playoffs. Those were the days, my friend!

My sincere and deep sympathies for Russ's family. He was a good neighbor and friend. I enjoyed him as a fellow member of the ODBC.

I especially remember when his family was young and the Husky would be visiting.

Rest in peace, my friend.

May God take you in his arms and hold you.  Sleep in peace, Russ.  Dee and Doug Phillip, Alexandria VA

I am just stunned.  Such a nice guy I met 15 years ago at the ODBC.  Often shared a drink or a pizza.  My prayers for the family his children, and grandchildren to get through this time of pain and sorrow.

My deepest condolences for the family, I was glad I met him through work, he was a great creative person.
