Russ,
My friend, my neighbor. I don’t believe this. You had a lot more to do in life. All you wanted out of life was your family around you. You had a huge heart and would do more for people than most. You were a man who appreciated the little things life has to offer. I only knew you for about 5 years but you definitely made an impact in my life. You helped me with whatever I didn’t know about the car always giving me a push to finish work in my house. Constantly giving me advise from experiences you’ve learned in life telling me to be patient and calling me a hot head and tease me about it. I will miss you dearly and I wish we had more time together we had planned to go camping with the kids this summer not to mention fishing. I promised you I would look after your family and I will do that I promise. You died doing what you love doing. Helping someone in need. I miss you my pal R.I.P.

Barry and family, so sorry for your loss. Russ will be missed by all that knew him. I would get a chance to talk to him from time to time when he and Nette would pick Lalia up from school. My prayers are with you and your family.

Bill, Barry, Lynette, Donnell, Russell, Rochelle, Laila, Jasmine, “X-Man”—and all of you who also loved Russ….I am (almost) at a loss for words. We’ve lost a lot of family the past couple of years, yet Russ’s passing seems unreal. He was so full of life and love, and was the heartbeat of his family. His children and grandchildren meant the world to him. He was truly one-of-a-kind, and irreplaceable. When you think of Russ, smile! (I think he’d like that.)

It just about took my breath away when I heard of Russ’ passing. My childhood friend; I have so many fond memories of him, though it’s so hard to believe he’s gone. We grew apart over the years but running into him somewhere always made for a good time. I will always remember him fondly. I really wish I would have been able to say goodbye.
May he rest in peace.
Love,

Just saw Russ recently and was stunned to hear of his passing. Every time I would see Russ he had something to say that would make me laugh. I will always remember him with a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sorrowful time. May God bless and keep you.

Childhood memories you can not replace. My older brother Larry hung out with Bill. We didn’t have a brother for Barry to hang out with(sorry Barry) and I hung out with Russ, building huts,mini bikes,working on the van,and of course lifting weights and wrestling. God bless you Russ and rest in peace.

May Russell rest in peace. I remember cheering for him, and him being nice to me in the halls of EAHS. I will pray for his family to have strength during this time.

Hey pappy , I know this is a late one and it’s been awhile since you’ve passed but I still miss you a lot, and so does your son “Russell Snyder”, but as your grandson it’s still a tough loss for me but soon I will see you again up in the sky but until then love you pappy . Rest In Peace.
