My thoughts and prayers are with the rest of the family as well.

He taught me many things when I was a young boy. Working with wood and metal. Using various hand and power tools. He was an excellent craftsman. He built some of the finest quality furniture I have ever seen. And beautiful Grandfather clock cases. I could only wish I had half the talent that he did! I deeply regret that I did not take the time to visit him before he passed. He is in a better place now. And he will be missed by all that knew him. -Bill Russell (10/14/05)
