We were sorry to hear about Russ's passing and were sorry to miss the visiting hours.  He was a valued colleague over many years.  Best wishes to his family.

Mary, Steve and I are so sadden to hear about Russ's passing. You are both beautiful people and always enjoyed your company. In behalf of Steve and I along with the Porsche group, our deepest sympathy and may God keep you

Mary, I was  saddened to hear about Russ's  passing, having seen him quite  recently.   I remember him joining the CMMC medical community 40 years ago and we soon after became good friends.
I made it a habit to stop by Russ's office daily just to chat and catch up on politics, the economy and whatever else. Occasionally, we might even look at x-rays.
I always appreciated his many achievements both inside and outside the hospital. Russ was quite a guy and I will miss him.

Russ was a kind, thoughtful and very gracious man who left an indelible impression upon all who were fortunate to have known him. My heart goes out to Mary, Michelle and the family. May you be comforted by your extraordinary fortune to have loved this remarkable man.

Decades ago I was a candy striper at CMMC, and often brought XRays up from the emergency room to be evaluated on Sundays. Dr. Radcliffe was unfailingly pleasant and would take the time to point out fractures or other irregularities to me. My condolences for your loss.

Mark, Brent,Nathan, Mary, Michelle and all the rest of the Rads,  Sending you so much love at this time. Grateful for so many good memories with all of you over the years.  On Saturday we will coincidentally be in Tucson, and heading up to Grand Canyon as we continue Out Down West: The Next Generation. You will all be with us in spirit and sending so much love to you all.  Lauren  xoxo

Russ was a man of many talents and he excelled at all of them. He was a devoted doctor, father, husband, grand father, musician, skier and an amateur genealogist.  Russ was always fun to be around as he knew how to keep the conversation going and had a great sense of humor.  Deepest sympathy to his dear wife, children and grandchildren.  I am sure that you all have wonderful memories that will always keep Russ close to your heart. May Russ rest in peace.

To Mary and all of Russ's family/friends- we have had the honor of knowing Russ for almost 60 years as friends from his undergraduate experience at Johns Hopkins University. As others have expressed, he was always a class act with all the ability and leadership talent you might hope for yet a kind and humble personality- as he expressed to us within the past month, he always tried to be fair with everyone. Our prayers are with Mary and his family.

John and Paula Owen (Akron, Ohio).

Along with many, many members of the community, both medical and non, I extend my condolences to Mary and all Russ' family and friends. Russ was one of the first to welcome me to Lewiston/Auburn so many years ago, and I continued over the years to be impressed with his dedication to his profession, his patients and his colleagues. The world is a smaller place without him!

Dear  Mary and family, We are thinking of you and remembering all the great times together.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers.  love to all, Walter, Linda, Lauren, Lee, Beth, Lynne and Kiron

I will remember Dr. Radcliffe for many things. I remember when he taught me how to play the Rolling Stones 'Paint it Black' on my guitar when I was ten years old. I remember spending Christmas Eve's with Russ along with Mary, Michelle, Mark, Brent and Nate and more recently, in Oxford. Russ had a deep appreciation for the finer things in life, cared for his family and spent a great deal of time learning and researching his genealogy. He even orchestrated a major family reunion for the Scianamme family which resulted in a turnout of over a hundred people in the 2012 family reunion at Poland Spring Resort. I was fortunate enough to spend Thanksgiving with Russ and Mary in 2015 and 2016 in Florida. I remember Russ expressing how proud he was of his sons, their wives and his grandchildren. You will be forever missed.

My condolences to Mary and the rest of Russ's family.  I fondly remember numerous bike rides, canoe trips, and musical experiences with Russ.  He was very talented and determined, as shown by his surviving 10 years longer than anyone expected with very aggressive cancer.  I will miss him.

Mary and family, there are no words to express our sincere and deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of knowing Russ for over 50 years and will always remember his warm smile and wit. May your love and wonderful memories carry you through this difficult time.

Russell was a beloved and very effective President of the Caloosa Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution in Lee and Hendry Counties, Florida.  He was also a good friend.  I will miss him.  And our Chapter joins me in praying that God will sustain and comfort Mary and all who mourn.

He was such a sweet and wonderful man.  I will miss his music, his sense of humor, and all of his stories about the family.


Dear Mary,
The Caloosa Chapter, Florida Society of the Sons of the American Revolution wishes to express our deep sympathy and condolences to you and to his family. It has been an honor and privilege to have Russ as our Compatriot, and as our Chapter President. He was a dedicated leader and a true Patriot. We will all miss him greatly.
May Russ rest in peace and may his memory continue to inspire us in our lives.
From all of his Caloosa Compatriots,
Bob McGuire
