    Our deepest sympathies for Lorraine, Ray, Eldon and the entire family.

    You and your entire family had a profound affect on my entire life from the time growing up in Heckston. Those life experiences gave me a knowledge never taught in schools and I have always appreciated every minute of them over the decades.

    We will meet again one day in the great unknown when we are together with our Heavenly Father. I am so happy that you accepted Jesus into your life.

    RIP Russ and thank you to the entire family for what you have given me for my life.

    One of the Very Best and as the old saying goes “They don’t make them like him anymore”. He was a gentleman with a great sense of humour and a smile and time for everyone. A source of how to knowledge and ready to share it with a helping hand. I enjoyed my short time spent with him and held Him ,Lorraine and the family in highest regard. Neighbours will miss his daily walks going to the post office. He will be missed by so many and so fondly remembered by all.
