To those of you left behind to mourn Russel's passing: We were neighbors of Ruth's and 'Pot' Richards, in fact my husband Roy Smith went into the service with 'Pot' and about 11 others at the beginning of WWII. Russel and my daughter Sherry Smith took dancing together when they were about 3 years old. Ruth would keep my little son Roy, III, while we went 'dancing'! Russel was always SO upbeat and happy-go-lucky growing up. To Duff and 'Pot', my heart goes out to you having known you! I know all of you are heart-broken! My Love and Sympathy to ALL of Russel's family! Mary Lou Smith Segars
