With a sad heart I’m writing this. Rusty and I started working together at SMCC/J on the same day. We attended the DOC academy together. You almost always form a bond with the group you start with, when working in corrections. We did form a bond. Rusty came to me one day and said he was going to transfer to NCF so he could visit with his grandchildren more often. I hated to see him go, but knew he was doing the best for himself. Rusty was very professional and fair in his work in corrections. He always had a positive attitude. I know Rusty will be missed by everyone that knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Amy and his entire loving family. Rest In Peace Rusty.
