    I’m so sorry for your loss…I remember David playing basketball for St. Rose Church, along with two of my brothers. We remember him as a really good player, who also had a great sense of humor. Praying for everyone in your family.

    To all my Russell cousins, sending my love, prayers and sympathy to each of you. Dave was a great guy, despite our Cub/Cardinals rivalry he was always a favorite. I love this picture and want to remember Dave with his genuine sweet smile. Rest In Peace Dave! Well done good and faithful servant.
