I hold fondly onto my memories of June and Russ when I worked for them at the Hand Out. Russ was always kind and patient with the teenagers we were.
My sympathies to June and family.

"Art" has left a family legacy through sharing stories of our Maib family, walking us through photos that bring our history to life. He kept our family reunions alive for decades that have meaningfully kept generations connected in a way that is so rare to many.
Always loved, always remembered and a memory always cherished .

On behalf of Russell's friends and classmates of Seattle's Lincoln High School, I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. While Russ was only with us for his senior year (due to the closing of Broadway High School) he was a great addition to the Class of 1949. - Don Ford, LHS Class Rep 1949.
