Rest peacefully Russ, you deserve it.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

I remember meeting Russ and thinking "What a gentle human being." after knowing from his posts that he was a tough nut. The contrast fooled me!~)
He was a tough nut, but he cracked:
*good jokes
*whips at fools (curmudgeon!~)
*open to reveal a kind heart
Thanks for your tree of knowledge, you old nut. It will be grown and treasured by people here.

The world of old guns and the men who treasure them will be less without Russ. Gods speed Der Klunkermeister.

I'll definitely miss his voice here.
I've greatly appreciated his perspective and his character in this community.
I wish your family peace and comfort.
Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts at the time of his passing.

I met Russ at the big Tulsa show several years ago. We hit off just like that. He gave me sage advice on several guns that I bought and always liked to prod me about what "treasures" I had found at the local pawn shops. He will be sorely missed. May God grant comfort to the family.
Best regards,

We will all miss the "Klunker"...Russ was as fine a man as God put on this earth; we are the better for having him and he will indeed be missed.
