My deepest condolences to the Witt Family. I have some of the best memories of the times I have spent with the whole family over many, many years. I was always treated as if I where a family member and we always had the best times when I would visit. Russ was the best, I will miss him.

My deepest condolences to Steve, Michele and children. Russ and Noreen were dearest friends to myself and Mary and Carmela over many years. Russ and I were in the ANG together 1954-80 both ending as Brig Gen.. He was a gifted leader & a true patriot. His highest honors were the Legion of Merit medal and becoming a Wi ANG Hall of Fame member. ------ Fly high my friend. You will be greatly missed.
