My deepest condolences to Dot and the rest of the family. Rusty was a fine person.

Dear Aunt Dorthy and Cousin Randy,

My uncle Rusty was an incredible human being. I wish I could have spent more time with him
and had planned to recently.
I feel a great sense of loss with his passing, and it was way to soon.
His positive attitude, warm friendly demeanor and timely jokes always lit up our smiles.
He was a mechanical wiz too. When I was younger my friend and I took out and tore down a Mercedes 350SLC transmission. We had that thing in pieces with ball bearings all over the place.
We couldn't figure out why it was always slipping out of gear.
Needless to say, Rusty took one look at it and diagnosed the problem. Turned out we didn't need to remove the transmission or dismantle it. We only needed to adjust one bolt on the side of transmission to stop the slip. We sure felt dumb.

Dear Uncle Rusty you will be missed. Rest in peace.

My sincere condolences,

Jonathan
