Howard Neff wrote a sympathy message

“Russ was a childhood friend and we stayed in touch as both of us got older and had health problems. Russ was always asking me about my health and never talking about his own health issues. We used to stay at each other’s homes as kids and I was going to see him in March when he got out of rehab. One of my best friends, I truly loved that guy and will miss him profoundly but will see him pretty soon. Howard Neff”
