I first met Russell in 2012 when he started working with New Product Launch and Global Supply Chain at Apotex as an Administrator.  We worked together for the next five years and I found him to be pleasant, energetic and accommodating.  He was always willing to learn new things and was a big help in planning meetings, recognition events and our day-to day work.   It was sad when he left our department for a promotion in the Richmond Hill office, but we still kept in touch. The thing I admired about him the most was his great love for both his kids and the passion he had for family.  He never complained about the long trips to Kincardine on Friday and Sunday's and always showed up on Monday's with a smile on his face and some great stories and pictures.  Monday, June 5th was an exception; instead we received an e-mail with the tragic news of what had happened.  I will certainly miss Russell, but the one regret is that he wasn't able to join us for our scheduled lunch last week and we didn't get a chance to say good-by.   I think we are still in shock and my hope is that Juen, Richard, Amanda and the kids will be able to remember him with love and admiration for the great man that he was.

Dear Juen, I am so sorry to hear about your son.  My sincerest condolences go out to you and your family. Wishing you strength and love through this difficult time.

Juen I am so sorry for your lost.  I have walked this path before you and I am still standing. Let your faith and your love for Russell keep you strong through these tough times.

Juen, our deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your son. We know words cannot express the pain and sorrow that you are experiencing. Our prayers are with you and we offer our support to you in anyway you may find it  useful. May God continue to uphold and comfort you.

Dear Juen,sorry for your loss.Sincere condolences go out to you and your family.You were there for us on three occasions,now we are here for you always.

Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight...
Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light.
But we know that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine,
To brighten up another place more perfect...more Divine.
And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright,
Our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light.

My heartfelt condolences.  You were a man of kindness and a wonderful sense of humour.. how you got irritated when I walked in the morning and turned the lights on in our building. Going as far as putting tape over the light switch.   You were taken away too soon.  Rest in peace my friend!  You will be missed.
