Our sympathy goes to Russ Cort’s family. What a great car salesman and gentleman Russ was. He exemplified the very best in a trustworthy and friendly manner. Russ sold us many cars during his seven years at Feeny. We just ordered a new car from him last week. He will be sadly missed in the Gaylord community. Glenn & Beth Smith
