Russ will be sorely missed. He was a wonderful man and we loved it when he made his way to Texas.

Although I had not seen Russ for many years, he and I had a very nice chat at the all-school reunion in 2015. He shared a lot about his life since graduation, including his greatest accomplishments—his children. In remembrance, I pulled out the senior edition of the Spotlight for 1973. Of note, he ran the 880 yard run in track, placing in the top 3 in conference meets. His fastest time was 2:11.07 at the regionals where he placed 4th in the 2nd section. Way to go Russ! He will certainly be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers...so sorry for your loss.

Although I had not seen Russ for many years, he and I had a very nice chat 2 years ago at the all-school reunion. It was great catching up and he was very proud of many of his accomplishments—especially his children. In remembrance, I pulled out the senior edition of the Spotlight for 1973. Of note, he ran the 880 yard run in track, typically placing in the top 3 at conference meets. His fastest time was 2:11.07 at the regional finals in Houghton. Way to go Russ! He will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers...so sorry for your loss.

Sometimes you don't know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory...
And there are so many - you will always be Rusty to me.

Sincere Condolences to the Cleary family and our friend Mary. Russ was a good friend and classmate. Always enjoyed seeing him through the years. He never lost that enthusiastic spirit and was never "risk averse"!

Still remember "Deuce", as I knew him, handing me cubes of ice after we beat them October 1972 in football. Really good to talk to him a couple of years ago. Rest in Peace my friend.
