  1. Russ was an incredible talent. Big pipes echoing throughout Western Canada at 14CFUN,then Chum and Montreal. He was also a down to earth guy. Sitting in with him on the air was always a blast. Airchecks, I have many…….RIP my friend!

  2. Russ grew up in McLeod Lake with us, he was an awesome cousin who was loud and hilarious , will never forget you Russ, fly with the eagles…

  3. I was privileged to have worked with Russ at CHUM as an on-air producer. He was the kindest guy just oozing with talent who was always interested in the well-being of the people he worked with. R.I.P. Russ.

  4. Russ had a strong energetic presence when he entered a room.I worked with Russ at Bow Valley college, where he made the workplace fun and enjoyable. I loved to hear his booming voice singing Christmas carols or announcing Happy SHIT day loudly ! (So happy it’s Thursday)
    Russ was also dedicated to improving our clients lives, a true professional who led by example.
    I miss you my friend and will never forget the impact you have made on me and so many others.
