When I would stop to see Rusty, first thing he would say "do want a Pepsi",then bring his old maps out to see who owned what and when. He was a regular historian.Going to miss you Rusty,Rest in peace. Condolences go out to his family.

Russell was the Omro High School classmate of both my husband, Jim Bradley, and I. He was always a very likable and pleasant person and very interesting to visit with at subsequent class reunions. We extend our sympathies to the family. God speed, Russell.
