Sharon Jensen only knew Rusty through him being married to my cousin,Linda, she always said that Rusty was her prince and how much she loved him. There are not to many ladies who say that. That is a good man. We will miss you Rusty. To family sorry for your loss. Sincerely Sharon
So sorry to hear of Rusty's passing. Rusty and I shared a love for bantam chickens, I remember him sitting in his little shed/coop on River Street in Chippewa Falls just admiring them. I met Rusty through Danny Paff, the bird world has lost 2 great men now.
I didn't know Rusty well, as we had only met once or twice, but my memories of him are nice ones. I remembered he would often share his rabbit/pork blended sausage with us at Lost Acres, and I've eaten many of his hens' eggs. My love to all the Harris family at this time of loss.
I am so sad to hear of Rusty's passing. Having just moved back to the area, I was hoping to see him and speak with him, maybe even pick on him a little bit. That was the kind of relationship we had when I was young and naive. I feel so lucky to have known him and all of his children because they always made me laugh and I so much enjoyed being able to walk through the woods to visit their happy, loving home. Rusty would tell us stories about the war that were terrifying, but enlightening, because he didn't ever sugar coat it. He told us real things about the world and treated us like adults. He was always teasing us, keeping us on our toes, and making us giggle with fun-loving insults and jabs. What a great guy, I only wish it hadn't been so many years since I last saw him. My condolences to the lovely family he raised.
