Kim, Shannon, Phil, Jonathan and Ryan,
We send our sympathies to all of you, and share with you the loss of Rusty. May he Rest In Peace.
Our condolences to you all on this terrible loss.
Though I hadn’t seen Rusty in many years, we wrote via Messenger almost weekly during hockey season
regarding our beloved NY Rangers. He always saw the positives of the game even if it was a loss.
We shared a similar love of music and he introduced me to videos I had never knew about.
When we met in Coram all those years ago, we did all the things that boys do-baseball cards in our bike rims
to sound like a motorcycle, hockey in the streets…with someone yelling “CAR!” every two seconds,
and coming up with our own way of signaling each other from bedroom windows with flashlights
after our parents told us to go to sleep.
You were always my best friend.
Love you Rusty.
God Bless
To all of Rusty’s family my sincerest condolences. I was a childhood friend of Rusty’s , we went to Vestal Senior High together and as my last name is Williams we ended up in many classes together, that guy had the best sense of humor ever, he would get us laughing so hard we would have tears rolling down our faces. We were so blessed to have a “classic “ upbringing, our days were like “ Fast times at Ridgemont High” I really enjoyed his friendship, and later in life reconnecting on Facebook- still on his game with his great sense of humor! I’ll miss you friend.
My condolences to the family on the passing of Dave. I worked with Dave during his time at Aramark and he was one of the nicest people I’ve met. Again my condolences!
I am so sorry I worked with David and it was a pleasure to have known him he will be missed
I’m in complete shock to learn of the passing of Rusty. He adopted my cat, Booberri/Cherie and gave her a new forever home. From time to time, I would get a message and pictures as a update. A memory of Cherie and Rusty came up in my Facebook memories which led me to share with Rusty. When I didn’t get a response, something made me go searching for him. My heartfelt condolences for the loss of Rusty. May peace find all who love and miss him.
Very sad to hear of my old buddy Dave’s passing. We hung out a lot after graduating high school back in Vestal N.Y. He really was 1 of the friendliest, nicest, most helpful guys I have ever known, He was always the first guy to offer help, a ride, a beer, a kind word, or lend u some music. He loved music. I actually ended up on a flight with him when flying back to N.Y from LA in 1988, then we hung out and of course he gave me a ride to my motel on the Vestal parkway so I could pack and leave the next day. He was also harassed by the motel staff while trying to visit me, bringing beers and food. They chased him off the property for trying to visit this hoodlagan from outta town. Last time we talked, he had had knee surgery. we talked some music to. Kindhearted, honest, generous, just an all around great person. Condolences to his family. I can only imagine the void left losing a guy like him. If anybody deserved a place in heaven, It was Dave. LOVE YOU FOREVER DAVE , I WAS BLESSED TO KNOW YA OLD FRIEND. Haig Dekmejian.
