We will all miss Russ. He was quite a character, even near the end. May he rest in peace. From "Remember Me" episode of "Little House on the Prairie" aired November 1975: Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all If you can only remember with tears, the don't remember me at all. This is how Russ would want you all to be. So cry now but go on and live your life to the fullest! Your loving daughter-in-law, Judy Rue
