Someone wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Russell Frederick Adkins, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I only had the opportunity to meet and work with Russ since 2020. He served as a valuable mentor and guide. I will always appreciate his wisdom, kindness, and teachings.”

Catherine Gannon wrote a sympathy message

“As an ABFSE team chair who shared meeting-related adventures like Russ' researched wine and dine choices and who also benefited from his expertise and outlook, I was stunned by the news. My last message from him (between hurricanes) was that he would update me on whether family and property had all come through when storm 2 was over. How much more you who were far closer must feel the devastation and loss! Words are weak confronted with sorrow. God bless you, Catherine Gannon”
