A thread in memorial of a good mate.

it's a terrible shame and a tragedy. I only met him a few times like a lot of people it seems, at Sunday Trading a few times and on the bus for GG, but we'd say hi and have a quick chat. He seemed like a really canny lad and genuinely friendly.

I saw him sat night, but across the room and didn't get a chance to say hi. Really wish I had now.

RIP Russel

I cant even begin to imagine the pain his family and friends are goin thru at this time. They have all my support and he has all my respect for bein such a popular colourful dedicated clubber. A vital loss to us all.

Big Thanx to everyone on this thread.

i never met russell but i was @ GK on sat. night, i was saddened to hear the news, i can tell from all of the fond memories people have of him, from the pictures & the kind words said that he must have been one of those `special people` who only had good in their heart, the world will be a darker place without you, i hope you are having fun now in a much better place, you will be missed....R.I.P

ShinySY!

Russell was infamous for his ability to make friends with anyone he spoke to.
I first met him a while back when i didn't know any of you lot and was just the little bloke people saw about. Instantly it was like talking to someone who was a old friend and you had known for ages. I think anyone who has spent five minutes in his company knows this.
It is a tragic loss but the fact that so many have spoken out in remembrance bears witness to his personality and frendliness.

R.I.P buddy.
see you on the other side.

One of the friendliest and most up-for-it people I have ever met, I know he will be sorely missed.

R.I.P.

Yeah i recognise him from the pictures, a really lovely lad

R.I.P mate.

i think those picutre sum up russel nicely - always smiling and up for a laugh!

this is nothing short of a tragedy that really makes you think about how precious life is.

sadly i don't think i'll be able to make it tomorrow but my thoughts will be with his family at this difficult time.

rip russel.

I knew him and this has totally blown me away

...its reeli reeli hard to know what to say at a time like this, i think that most of what i was gonna say has been said already but i just thought that i would out a post in this thread to show ma respect....
i didnt know him as well as some people but he'd bin back to our aftaparties a couple of times so i go to know him from then but he was such a genuine canny lad who was always up 4 a laff and even though i didnt reeli know him that well he'd always come running over when i seen him out on a nite n giv me a big hug n we'd hav a chat 4 an iccle bit, its just so so unbelievably awful that this has happened there isnt reeli words to describe it but jsut wanted to give my sincere condolonces (i think thats the rite word) to all his friends and family and anyone that knew him.....

RIP russell xxxx
