Rusty was my colleague and my supervisor. I spent many happy years working with a for him. You have my deepest condolences for your loss. I treasured my time with him. I model my skills after him as I carry on my duties as a supervisor with the airline. I’m sorry I didn’t find out sooner. I will always regret not being able to attend the services.

I am so sorry to hear about Sim. Just a kind man of great humor. My folks Albert and Cora Borgmier always loved visiting with him and Kay at Marjorie Rules or Jennie Lou’s homes. He always got mom an ice cream cone when we had her birthday party at the buffet on 169. They are all together visiting and laughing in heaven now!!
