Like many of you, I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Russel’s parting. He was my boss for many years, and I could not have asked for a nicer, more intelligent and hard working person. He was always available to help, advise and assist, and nothing seemed to faze him. Out of work he was good fun to be with and we shared some great banter. My heart goes out to his wife, children and family. He will be missed by all who knew him, and will stay forever in our memory.
