Melissa M Dwight says
My deepest sympathy for Rusty’s family. I knew Rusty as a student at Ivy Tech Community college where I helped him with his VA benefits. I always knew him to be a really nice guy and great student. He talked about his family frequently and he will be missed. I was always listening to stories of him assisting his mother and thought he was a very dedicated son.
Beth Riggle says
He was my best friend, my confidant, my husband for 25 years. The one I leaned on, the one I held. The one whose hand fit perfectly into mine – the one I will miss and love until the end of my time.
