I just received a call from Russ Leggitt's wife and Russ passed away early this morning. Russ is a former member of the forum and a great cubber. I will miss him a lot.
 
I know Miss Martha has had some health issues, but Russ seemed very healthy the last time I saw him. I'm so sorry to hear that he has passed.

So sad to hear. I always liked Russ and the help he gave at CubFests. I always wished I could have made it to Woodson Ridge.
 
My condolences. Russ was a fine man and a good friend.

I will never forget the first time I saw Him and Frosty, dressed for the parade at Stonethrow.
 
Wow! what a shock. Maybe his health was the reason that he did not make DSCF the past two years. Even though this forum has a wealth of guys willing to share their knowledge with us, Russ surely set the bar high, not only giving us his wisdom, but also being a true gentleman . I really enjoyed talking to him, the few times that he and I were together.
 
Missed but not forgotten, the family and friends are in my prayers , I enjoyed talking to Russ and Dan about as much as anyone I will truly miss him as I do Dan

Our thoughts and condolences to the Leggitt family. Russ was a good man and outstanding contributor to the Cub family.

I met Russ and Martha at one of Gary's cubfests. I enjoyed the time I spent with him and found him to be a true gentleman. Our condolences to his family.
 
I met Mr Russ about a year ago and liked him the moment I met him. Truly one of a kind. Always ready to help and give of his vast knowledge. A true southern gentleman and friend. I will miss him and pray for Mrs Martha and the family
 
Russ will be missed, most certainly by almost anyone who ever met him, exchanged emails/pm's with him or just shared a thread. A gentleman of the old school, he always stepped up to help the new ones as well as our most senior members. He was a real joy to share things with.

I remember him trying to teach me Autocad .... :big give up: .. I am sorry Russ, I don't think I will ever get the hang of it :( . Thanks for trying to teach me, you were a great mentor to me and a good friend. I just wish Em and I could have met you and Miss Martha in person. Rest in Peace (+) my friend, you will always be part of our family here.
 
Mr. Russ
How do you say good bye to A man of this caliber in a few words on a public forum......You Can't.
You will be missed my friend.
May peace be with your family.
