Dear
Family,
I was very sorry to hear of this tragedy. I am a work friend of Rusty from the Senate, and was very fond
of him. Since hearing the news, I could see his face, smile, and hear his laugh remembering conversations with him in the
halls and his cubical. We last spoke on the phone a few months back about some technical stuff, and I was reminded how much
I missed seeing him day to day.
I can only imagine how this hurts all of you, but know there is someone else
that is thinking about his loved ones and is praying for you all during this time. Heaven will be even made sweeter by his
arrival.
God bless all of you and help give you peace. David Romberger ____________

To the Brown family, thoughts and prayers with you at this very sad time. Rusty loved

Dear MB and family,
I was so saddened to hear about Rusty, someone
I met in 1st grade and then worked with at Hardee's where we all became friends. He shared much laughter and smiles
with this world for which I am grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Tina (Duncan) Thomen _______________
Rusty and I worked together at DLA. He was a genuine, down to earth guy that
I could spend hours talking (and me learning) about fishing, hunting, or anything outdoor related. I'll miss you buddy.
Best wishes to your family. Tom __________
Rusty and I started
work for DLA on the same day in 2009. He always had a great attitude, and if it weren't for his perspective I wouldn't
be the same person. I always enjoyed our conversations about kayaking, hunting, Steelers, and creek-nics. He was always
proud of his family. It won't be the same without him. Jeremy _______________
Dear MB & kids, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rusty. You are in Our thoughts and Prayers.
Love you Ann & Jerry Bates _______________
So sorry for your
loss. Though I have not seen Rusty in a number of years, I still remember spending time with him and MB at their place in
York Springs and from time to time when he worked at the Capitol. We played ball together at Bermudian as well. He was a
great teammate, hard worker at whatever he did, free spirit and full of life.
I have never met his kids, but
if you turn out anything like the Rusty I knew, that would be a success story.
May God bless you and care for
you all in the most difficult of times.
Garfield Archer _______________
MB, so sorry to hear about Rusty. You both were good friends to me back at Hardees and now I wish I had made
more of an effort to keep in touch. I can remember hanging out at the cabin and all the crazy times we had back then! I am
in Winston-Salem, NC now but my friend Scott in D-burg notified me when he saw this. My thoughts and prayers are with you
and your family. Please take care! rquintern@aol.com

we know that trusting God will get us through our tough times. May God richly comfort each of you.
Blessings,
