Murway, Russ (Memoriam) REMEMBERING RUSS MURWAY If the worth of a man's life is marked by the people he touched then Russ' journey was one of full measure. For thirty-five years, friends, customers and business acquaintances saw the evolution of a man with a full head of blond hair and a twenty-eight inch waist to Haagen-Dazs biggest fan. Kalway was his kingdom and from his window on the world he looked out upon the community in which he was a fixture. "How ya doin?" was the phrase of choice. A gap toothed grin, a ready smile. Generous, "Need anything?" A master mechanic, a welder, a computer whiz, a businessman, a fierce competitor. A lover of wind chimes and candy. A brilliant mind, a quick wit, a mischievous sense of humor. A strong work ethic. Honest. Caring, "That's my job, I fix things," which included people, cars and associated problems. Courageous. "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." He was a warrior who bore adversity without complaint. EVER. My best friend. My love. Love knows not it's depth till the hour of spearation. Anon Published in Newsday on 4/15/2005. Randall, Shirley RANDALL-Shirley of Mineola, NY on April 14, 2005.
