there are no words to describe how much you are missed. not a day has gone by since you passed that i haven't thought about you and all the memories you gave me and tayler and cindy and the girls in the period of time any of us knew you. I will forever remember our camping trips with you and going to the race tracks with you to doing everything in between. 
you were a very big part in all of our lives from the first day we all met you. i am forever grateful for everything you did for me and tayler and cindy and the girls. You always made sure everyone else was taken care of before yourself and for that we are grateful. i will miss doing all the stuff we did with you. you always made birthdays and christmas and special occasions special and worth it no matter what life was like. our lives will never be the same now that your not here to enjoy it with us anymore. there are so many words and stuff to write down but in the end you end up writing what your heart really feels. you are and always will be forever missed. nothing will ever be the same without you but thats why we have our memories to keep us going. you were always loved and will still be loved even though your gone. forever missed but always loved. 


I have to give a big thanks for all the great memory's as a kid.  Weekend trips,camping in the summer,coming to watch Courtney race with us on Saturdays. You even came to watch karl sault at oshweken a few times and even though you always thought dirt was for potatoes. you were always there on our birthdays and every christmas. I will miss calling you and asking you to come up to or just showing up at your house. You were always there when we needed you. I will always love and miss you.  Forever in our hearts. Until we meet again, watch down on us. Rest in paradise.

You are driving the highway to Heaven Russ, your Desoto will get you there in style. God Bless

Russ, we had a great deal of memories with our classic cars, and both mechanics together. At least I was able to see you again when you visited our Wednesday Night Cruise night in August, I just didn't know that it would be the last time. But when your life becomes a memory, your memory becomes my treasure.

Russell,
  Time is shortened,
      memories left unfinished.
            conversations silenced,
                  loving thoughts linger,
            like a paint brush poised over an unfinished canvas,
     you are missed.
 love, Marlene

Dennis, Jan, and family:
Our condolences on the passing of your brother.   May the Lord be an encouragement to you during this difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

Russ you were a major part of my life, since birth. From taking me in when I needed somewhere to go, to the 9 years of racing we did together, never did I think at 13 years old when I said I wanted to race did I think it would actually happen, you made my dream come true, and I can't thank you enough for all the summers we spent at the track and working on the cars, I will race for as long as I can in your memory and hopefully can still make you proud, But for also all the family trips and weekend trips I will never forget. I will forever have many memories of you. Racing will be hard this year with not being able to call you up and ask you to come watch, everytime you came I tried 10 times harder just to make you proud. I thank you for everything you did for me in my life. I love you and will miss you very much Russ.

Sorry to hear of your passing at such a young age.

We are deeply saddened over the sudden death of Russell. May each of us cherish the memories that we all have had.  Sympathy and love to all of his family.  With love and prayers  Uncle Cliff and Aunt Marion Grove

Russ there are no words that could possibly describe all you meant to me and my children. You came into my life and a very young age and treated me as one of your own. Every memory I have as a child and right through to the day you passed away has included you.To my children you were like a grandfather, you have left them with so many great memories that they could never forget from all the little things we would do every weekend to the things we would do almost everyday after you retired  to family vacations, Saturday nights watching the races at flamboro speedway  to helping courtney build a race car and  get into racing a passion you both shared. Russ in this family you will never be forgotten. You will forever have a place in our hearts. Rest in peace Russ until we meet again. We all love you and miss you .

Dear Russ, although I did not know you all that well you were a very generous man, and you will live in our hearts forevermore. Rest in peace

Gone to soon but never forgotten! Always like a father figure to us kids! Love and miss you more than words can explain. Until we meet again. Rest in Paradise and keep watch on us ❤❤

Russ you will hold a spot in my heart for a lifetime. A great friend you were to me and a inspiration for many.
Thank you for all the memories and great times. Thank You for the support in everything I did.
We will miss you!
Mike Larkin and Roxz

Uncle Russell, a lot of my childhood memories have been flashing through my mind this past week. I remember always wanting a ride on your motorcycle and later your awesome cars. I can't help but think that life is too short and I grieve for all the lost moments and future memories. You will be dearly missed and forever loved.

Russ you will be missed. Thanks for the cruisin and the friendship. May you always be remembered and thank you for being a good friend.
