Seel knew Padre many years ago in his Pittsburgh days. Bernie and I have been life long friends. He was a good friend, funny and talented. I’m sure his loss is great. Prayers.

When I read of Russell’s passing, it brought to mind how he patiently counselled a very angry, struggling 3rd grade boy at my school. I recalled that in an Aikido class, he paused so Melissa could swoop in to rescue a spider from the class area. To some, Russell’s appearance belied his gentle manner, but now there’s one less “good guy” on this earth. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.
