RIP Russ, NCNE (Moderator Approved)

[Viper GTS]

I don't post much in OT any more but I'll make an exception for this.

I have yet to find a more official confirmation (obit) but it appears to be legitimate and definitely the same Russ that we knew here:

Seems he was legendary on every forum he was on, which would be no surprise to anyone here.

That sucks. Always hoped he'd return...I didn't really "know" him but it was a badge of honor to have been roasted by him at least once.

Oh wow... I just popped in here on a whim, and I didn't expect to see this! I remember Russ from the Compucheap days, he was a really awesome guy and I'm sad to see him go.
