I was so sorry to learn that Russ had died.
He was a good friend in high school. He was so talented whether it be drawing the Beatles or making music. I’ll never forget the day he said in art history class, “Let’s make a Mummy Movie!“ That moment certainly changed our last year in high school in so many great ways.
Next, he was one of us four Northport High School graduates who went off to Pratt Institute together to study art. Those were very interesting times. I mostly lost touch with Russ after then, last seeing him and his thoroughly impressive paintings he showed at the Northport Library. They were all masterful, brilliantly, and sensitively painted. He mentioned then how much he appreciated the work of Cezanne. For me, that said it all. So sorry to see you go Russ. You will be remembered and missed.
