Robert Louis Russell

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Rich Miller on April 6, 2013:

Bob, we didn't know each other in service and I only learned what a great pilot you were when Ed Anderson spoke at your funeral. I got to know you when we moved back to Alexandria a dozen years ago. You were a good friend. I and the rest of the guys who meet monthly at lunch miss your humor and companionship.

You topped the windswept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew - Rest in peace, old friend.
