Sending heartfelt sympathy to the family. Will always remember Russ . Candace Adkins
Sis, Jill and Family,
Russ was greatly respected and a mentor to many. He was a man with vision and character. Russ gave me and countless others a promising start to our careers. Not only was he a noble man he was a friend.
Wishing You Peace
My thoughts and prayers are with Sis and the rest of the Rouch family... I was deeply sad when I heard about this, Russ was a great friend, boss and most of all person to everyone who came in contact with him. I will forever have a special place in my heart for him! Again, my thoughts are with his family...😍
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my first real boss and great friend. Russ hired me in 1984 at the Auditor of State's office here in Ohio. I remember calling him in January 1985 to wish him a happy birthday. I asked him how it felt to be a half century old. He didn't think that was funny, but I couldn't stop laughing. He was and still is the best boss I've ever had. Here I am, still in government 33 years later, thankful that Russ gave me my first job in government. He left a lasting impression on me and so many others. Sis and Jill, please give your husband and father one last hug from me until I see him again some day. Tonight I'll pray for Russ, you, and your family. You have my sincere condolences. God Bless you all.
Best boss I ever had. Knew the inside of a bureaucracy like nobody else. Personable, approachable, willing to learn from a young guy and taught me a lot about managing. I imagine he is now at that great 19th hole in the sky.

I remember a very thoughtful and loving caring man. Family came first. He will be missed by all who knew him.
