My sincere sympathy Janice and family, there are no words that can ease your pain. May good memories abound and comfort you.

Dear Janice & family,
What I have to say is not unique- as many who know & love Rusty agree. He was a person of great charisma, warmth, cheerfulness, positivity & kindness. The type of person who helped you feel better for being near him!
God blessed you with a fine husband, father, grandfather.
He´s in the glory realm with his Creator. You will miss him greatly and I am sad for you. The only bright part is knowing you will see him in the future!

Jan I am very sorry for your loss

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
