I worked with Russ for a number of years at the Durango Police Dept. Had a smile on his face & laughter to follow. He will be missed.

I knew Russ when he was DPD and I was with CPD. Russ was a good officer and he had a great sense of humor. May he rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear that Russell has passed. I send prayers and love to his family and friends. We had a few good laughs, Russell, when helping my grandmother, your Aunt Nellie, move. I'll treasure that time forever. Rest high on that mountain.
