Welcome To The Official Website For The U.S.S. RICHARD B. RUSSELL (SSN-687)

Jeff came aboard shortly after I did, and he immediately provided a solid improvement to the "goat locker". He took
control of the aft portion of the boat and provided long overdue strong, but caring leadership and counsel to many
of the fine young sailors who had previously been left to drift, somewhat. Jeff, myself and QMCS(SS) John Honaker
used to hang around together quite frequently and always had a great time. The fun only got more adventurous
when FTCM(SS) Kenny Williams, USN, Retired joined us. As with most of the fellas listed in the memoriam section,
Jeff passed way too soon and will be missed by many. He had a great influence on so many sailors that his actual
and true contributions to the Navy and to the nation will never be fully realized or appreciated. Sailor, rest your oar!
