A MAN NAMED RUSS WALKER
I?ve met people that are doers and people that are talkers now let?s talk about a man his name is Russ Walker.
Let?s talk about the things he did before he past. All of these things will most certainly last.
He started committees for our great fellowship. He did that with deed and not just with lip.
He would go in to prisons and in to the jail. They loved to see Russ even more than there mail.
He would share with these men his experience, strength, and hope and most of them recovered from alcohol and dope.
His commitment to service was out done by none. That?s easy to see by the things he has done.
Now I sit here tonight with tears in my eyes and a heart full of woe.
With this ache in my hart where should I go?
I don?t feel like visiting so I guess I?ll stay home. I?ll do what Russ liked and I?ll write him a poem.
Now these words that I write I?ll try to make rhyme. It?s really quit hard at this heart breaking time.
I?ve lost a great mentor, brother and friend but for Russ it?s the beginning and not just the end.
Now he?s up there in heaven because angels are slacking. Motivation it seems is what they are lacking. They forgot what to do they forgot about service. God got concerned he really got nerves.
God needed a great doer and not just a talker. God thought it was time to call up Russ Walker.
Now Russ is up there serving that great service board. That?s one great group conscience just Russ and the lord.
Russ took his committees and he gave them to god. He looked and he grinned as he gave Russ a nod.
I?ll get you some angels to do what you need. I?m so glad that I called you to help me to lead.
Now the angels are all working to spread love of others and make us all act like sisters and brothers.
So if you are feeling more spiritual and don?t really know why
Just thank Russ Walker and wipe that tear from your eye.
We love you Russ
May your committees always be full
I last ran into Russ at a Friday Night Fireside Get-Together, and he took the time to donate several pieces of much-needed literature for the use of some inmates with whom I was associated at the time. He was generous and "bigger than life" and God worked through him. He taught me to love a little more freely and hold the world a little more loosely. Thanks to God and to his family for sharing him with us.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Russ, was a pillar as a trusted servant. Being the worker bee he was and not one to stand around and let the work get or not get done. I can guess the Almighty had plans for Russ to be with Him now. He will be truly missed. One more reason to count our blessings for we never no when it will be time for us to move on to greener pastures.
God Bless & Deepest Condolences,
Glenn
Grandpa its hard to believe that you're gone. You had a kind heart and you have left a great legacy to carry on your name. I'll love you forever and I hope that I can be a man like you were someday.
Over the years Russ used to say great things to us that we all remember. Never get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired.Always pray always. Life isn't fair but it is still good. The the lessons you learn in the program will last you a lifetime. Life is really too short to waste time hating anyone.Remember we were all chosen to be here, and now we are going to make the best of it.
