    Russell always had a smile on his face when he’d come and visit with us at the old Jacksonville Guitar Center. We shared lots of laughs talking about local restaurants, cars and guitars. Prayers of peace to Tracy and the family.

    I remember years ago him and his brother breaking horses. Ronnie and Russell were the toughest SOB’s I have ever seen. That horse didn’t stand a chance. They were also the most gentle giants as well. I’m glad they are now resting in their fathers arms. I can’t wait to see them on the other side.
