Haskell and Sandra, I am so sorry to hear of Rusty's passing. A group of class of '75 Eastside HS friends had breakfast just a couple of months ago and Rusty picked up the tab. We had a great time of fellowship, one that I will always cherish. Please know my thought and prayers are with you. I pray God will comfort you both with loving memories of Rusty.

So sorry for your loss. Rusty was a very special person and friend. I've known him since high school at Eastside. A life taken too soon from us, but he's singing with the angels in Heaven now. I'll miss our fun talks. Prayers for your family at this time.

Dr & Mrs Brown, I was shocked to learn of Rusty’s passing. I remember very fondly our days of growing up in church. We had such a great group of young people of which Rusty was a part. I especially remember our mission trip to Haiti and Jamaica. Rusty’s talk when we came home about our experience in those countries. You and your extended family will be in my prayers.

Way too many great memories to single out just one. He was a true, trusted and loyal friend/brother. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Rusty for always being there with your unconditional love. Please pass on to my family how much I love them. See you again my brother!
