Condolences to the Family

It is with profound sadness that I learned of Russell’s passing. We lived next to him at 22 1/2 W. Chestnut St. in Lacaster while we were children. Later we moved to Pinch Rd. outside Mr. Gretna, and his Family moved to a home right next to Mt. Hope Church. We were very close friends all those years. Later when I moved out of state, we lost contact until I called him several years ago to get an update. Thankfully, my brother John who also knew all of the siblings sent me a link to this page. I know Donna as well as her husband who lived just above the turnpike north of Manheim. I will contact them this Summer. I am just so saddened and stricken by this totally unexpected and tragic news. May he rest in peace and may time ease the pain and burden of this great loss for his Family. Sincerely, Russell D. Young
