Buh bye Russ Wheat

Posted on August 5, 2022 | 2 Comments

On this day in 1938, my good friend Russ was born. He transitioned in 2019, played a few jokes on me and then disappeared into the light. Unforgettable.

UPDATE: Happy Trails to You, Until We Meet Again!

    Russell Wheat never heard something that didn’t remind him of a joke and to my knowledge never had a unkind thought about anyone. At least that he shared. A kind soul who entertained all he met.

    I told him once that my late wife was a descendant of Mormon bishops and that rattled him, being a churchgoing Methodist. He started to say something unkind but checked himself immediately. I added that she was an agnostic which, oddly, made him feel better.
