I used to be in a foster home down the street at Mrs Jean Orm. I remember playing hockey in their flooded homemade ice rink, I was a goalie and Russell and I were friends. I still consider him a friend even though it has been over 30 yrs. Sorry for your loss. I remember the older boys sticking up for me at school and their friendliness and kindness. You're all very kind people and I will never forget that. - Posted by: Ron Henderson (friend of Russell) on: Jan 17, 2012
