To the family my deepest condolences for your loss I actually have just learned of his death a few days ago. Mr. Russell was my choir teacher at Albion- he was one of two favorite teachers I have ever had. No one has yet to reach the awesome sarcasm he had and he had a great way to constructively criticize us as choir students in the best ways possible and made us better students! To this day I have “the guitar man” stuck in my head all the freakin time. What a great man he was! Not to be forgotten. 

-Courtney Bjornn (was in his class in 2002)

I find myself telling others to  enunciate their words quite often these day. My Dad, Brian, would be telling me and my siblings that often when we were younger. I just smile as I remembering my dad saying; as others look at me in confusion as if they never heard of that word. Till we meet again you'll always be on my mind and missed.
Love your daughter,
Marlene Sanchez- Russell

Brian was the most wonderful husband anyone could have or dream of.  He was so loving, caring, thoughtful, I could go on for days.  I have never had someone love me so much and unconditionally.  He started every morning with I love you, how are you this morning, always there with a kiss, every afternoon at his lunch hour he would call me and just chat, before he left work would call to see if he needed to stop and pick up anything on the way home.  So much love.  He was the best Dad.  He loved his kids to the moon and back.  Was so proud of all of them.  He adored his Grandchildren and bragged all the time about them.  There are few people in this world like my Brian, I'm grateful he was my better half.  As he would always say, I love you more.  Love you back XXXXXOOOOOO
