My thoughts and prayers go out to Russell's family and friend's.
God bless each and everyone of you in this time of sorrow.
I didn't know Russell all that well. But I do remember that
he was a nice guy. He would always say hi everytime I
seen him. Had a nice smile. We will miss you Russell!

It's so sad that Russell Jennings has passed. I was with him when I went to my first concert. I visited him a few times at his parents' home back in high school days. We were in accounting class together, where I was my usual obnoxious self. He was awesome at bowling. We both frequented Skyway Lanes, the bowling alley that used to sit next to Smacks on S. 4th Street, near Lansing. Russell was one of the good ones.
