First, my most sincere condolences to Taew and Piya, whom I have had the great pleasure to meet. I knew and worked with Russ for 20 yrs. When you saw Russ in him the office, he always had a smile on his face, a cup of coffee nearby and was busy working away. I hired Russ back after he retired (the second time) as a contractor so he could teach our auditors how to audit construction contractors because Russ knew all their tricks and traits, having worked for them for 39 years. He loved to audit. The auditors he taught could never match his years of wisdom, common sense and keen insight. He loved to travel where ever you needed him to go. He loved his personal trips to Thailand where he gave so much and helped out his extended family/community over there. He always talked about those trips on his return with a big smile on his face. He worked hard, he was so productive and it was just a tremendous blessing to have him around you. He taught, he listened, he shared stories and was a very kind, giving, caring, intelligent human being. You are in a better place now Russ. I will miss you dearly!
