Condor Posted March 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2017 I just had this forwarded to me by Rocket. I was just texted this afternoon by Missy, Black Owl's daughter, that he was taken to hospice. They think he has a couple of days left. I asked her to call me but I have not heard anything. Folk I am afraid it sounds just like it sound. I'll do my best to keep you all informed.

mraf Posted March 28, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 28, 2017 So sorry to hear this. I only met him once at the first ventureriders get together at Potato Creek. He lost his tailfeathers there on a bet with the boss. He took it in stride with minimum chanting. A true test of his character. Prayers up.

Freebird Posted March 28, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 28, 2017 I had gotten an email about this earlier this afternoon and it was certainly not something that I wanted to hear. Those of you that are newer here will not know Russell. Due to his declining health, he hasn't been around for a while. He is one of our original members though and is truly a friend to anybody he meets. He has helped me in many ways through the years from the first days and weeks as I was launching this site and often through the years. He is truly one of the good guys in this world. My sincere prayers have been said and will be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
