Linda, I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. Russ was a very friendly and social man. I enjoyed listening to his stories of running the Grorge Webb and taking race car photos. He even gave me a printed copy of one of his photos once! He was a frequent client at my place of work, and he will be missed by many.

So sorry for the loss of your father! While I only got to know him for a brief time, he was a very kind and proud father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. I'm currently traveling out of state, otherwise I sure would have wanted to be there to say a final goodbye and give you guys a hug too! He's looking down watching over us all with that infectious smile of his! God bless!

My condolences to the entire Lake family. Russ has been a life-long friend to myself and my family. We shared many experiences together, at race tracks in town, at Indianapolis, and all over the USA. The charity dinners were very special. Hat shake to you my friend.

I am so sorry that Russ is no longer with family and friends. There are so many memories that I have from our years working together at the Milwaukee Mile that I will always cherish. I am glad that I got a chance to know him, spend time with him and be a friend. Godspeed Russ. Will miss you.
