    Sorry for your loss, Denny. My Mom told me years ago your Dad was one of her favourite relatives. And anyone who knew Bertha knew she was pretty stingy with praise.

    I hope you and the family find comfort in your memories of all the good days together. I will always remember “Uncle Russ” and the fun times
    growing up in Fremont! We still have the fire helmet he gave Jeff at the firehouse in 1972! I know how hard it is to lose someone you love, but they are never really gone as long as they are remembered! All my best to Pat and the family.
