John Federico wrote a sympathy message

“Such a tremendous loss. When all is said and done in this life, we each want to know we had an impact on our family, our community, our state. It is undeniable that Russ achieved those objectives. He loved his family, and he loved his adopted state. Russ exemplified servant leadership and he will be sorely missed. My best to the entire Jennings family. John Federico”

“Judy & family, I was shocked and saddened to see the announcement of Russ' passing in the KC Star this morning. Russ was a very special 'servant-leader' throughout the State in so many capacities for many, many years, all the while being a great family man, as well. I am so sorry for your loss.
