I met Russ in 1995 and thoroughly enjoyed playing music with him in a band we put together, "the Rusty Nuts". In the early 2000's Russ retired, left Winnipeg to winter in Texas and the Rusty Nuts never sounded the same without him. Russ was a great singer and guitar player, had an easy going sense of humour, and we had a lot of great times playing music together. My wife Crystal and I are very sorry to hear of his passing. Our sincere condolences to his family. - Posted by: Greg & Crystal Boswick (Friends) on: May 07, 2015

Good guy to play with. Sorry to hear of his passing. I remember how much he liked my bass foot. - Posted by: Dave Wendt (we both played with ''The Shapes'' in the 60s) on: May 02, 2015
