To the family of Russell C. Smith.  
As I have spent years researching the Smith/Guenther family line, I was saddened to come across the obituary for Russell.  Russell's father and my grandmother (Anna Mae Smith Guenther) along with Grace Smith Kohler and Byron Smith were siblings living between Palmyra and Rochester.  
I would love to share more information and get to know the Smith family. Please email me at merlotjw@inreach.com.

He made the world a better place.  Russ and his ever present smile will be missed.

Lana and I were shocked beyond belief when we learned of Russ's passing.  Russ was a very close friend to both of us and we recall many wonderful times together.  Russ and I were good buddies in high school and reconnected many years later.  Gone too soon and too young.  Our condolences to Russ's family.  May God bless you.

I was heart broken to hear about the passing of Russ. I could never express how grateful I was towards Russ, for taking in my little sister after our father died. My deepest condolences go out to the entire family. He was a one of best people I've ever met.

Russ was friend thru high school. A great softball player, and so much fun to be with. His smile was contagious. He was a genuinely good human being. I'm going to miss 'Smitty'.

Russ the world has lost a wonderful person.  You have been a fantastic neighbor to my Wife Tomasita and her family.  I know a piece of Nilsa's heart went with you.  Thank you for being there for all of us, your humor will be truly missed.  I am blessed to be able to say you were my friend, and you will always be a part of many life's.   God Bless you Russ.

There are no words to measure the loss of you, a sense of humor &a sarcastic wit second to none. You helped me thru the loss of Dan & made sure I was always ok. My dear friend gone to soon. You & Dan go fishing & have a beer, you will be in my thoughts forever. A 40 yr. Friendship never goes away.

I loved Russ Smith. He was a gentle, warm, loving friend. Always concerned about how his sister and mom were doing. Would do anything for anyone. Big smiles and huge dimples were the first thing you noticed when you saw him. Russ will surely be missed and always be loved. We know where you are right now Russ. God bless you and all the people you blessed with your kindness and love.  Missing you already.      Margaret (Sheetz) Finn

What a wonderful person Russ was to grow up with in my high school days. Always greeted me with a hug and his big smile and those DIMPLES! Loved visiting him when he lived by South Park. God bless the Smith Family in this difficult time. Russ will surely be missed.

You were a great neighbor! Always tending to your lawn and always willing to lend a hand! You are already missed on Ash St. We are grateful to have had such a nice caring man next door! God Bless you!

Russ was the nicest person.  Always a great sense of humor.  Always there to help.  He will always was and will be a shining star.  We have lost an angel.

person Russ was. I will truly miss our 
morning conversations and our football pools.I just want to say THANK YOU for all your words of wisdom and more. Martin and I will miss you very much.

Russ, you were more than a family friend you WERE family. You were a wonderful man and will truly be missed by all. You have always been there for me and my family since I can remember as a child. Your buddy Danny is waiting for you up there. God bless you and your family. Love and miss you.

I have had the privilege of working with Russ for over 20 years.  Russ was a true character...combining technical knowledge and skill with great wit and wisdom.  He always had something clever, or at least sarcastic, to say.  I will miss him greatly.  God bless.

My good friend Russ -- You had such a great sense of humor but also a wonderful kindess about you.   I will miss our dinners together....they just won't be the same without you.   We'll remember you always.

My Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for your friendship. You have made a tremendous impression on me with your sense of family, caring and goodness. I will miss so many things but mostly our laughter together and support for eachother. Be happy my friend. Love always.

They say when you loss a family member you loss a part of yourself. Even though it been along time since we have seen each other you have not been far from my thoughts. I will always remember sitting on the front porch of the house and seeing you drive by and you giving us a hello honk. and the holidays at grandmas house. I have lost a cousin but you have made me remember all those special time. Aunt Joyce remember you are loved by many regardless of the distance.

Russ was such a friendly person, and would help anyone that was in need.  He was such a hard worker - what a shame he didn't get more time to enjoy the fruits of his labor.  We will miss him, he really defined the term "neighbor".  Marilyn Munton

Russ,
We will deeply miss you and always LOVE you.  For 58+ years you were the best son and brother.  You were always a wonderful caretaker and friend.  You brought humor and happiness to us with every interaction.  Rest in Peace!
Mom and Gary

Russ was one the sweetest guys I've ever worked with. He would always brighten my day with a Good morning and a smile. He will truly be missed by those around him for he was a kind and loving man. I'm so happy to have known Russ. I'm so sorry for your lose. Diana
