Wiz didn't do anything intentional, basically copied from other sources the professional obit but he did omit some of his career highlights.

What they did wrong and you're right is 2 things:

This poor dude died on 2/2 and was reported wide spread 3/27.

He died in Harrington, DE a Harness town and nada.

"He was always with his horses as a trainer and a driver for over 50 years, finally retiring in 1990. Most of his racing career was spent on Long Island, N.Y., where he raced mostly at Yonkers and Roosevelt Raceways. His motto was if you could race here on these tracks, you could race anywhere.

Mr. Rash will be remembered as a good and humble man who could make you laugh, tell you lots of stories, but also would tell you like it was. His toughness, love of the harness industry and his family will forever be missed."

RIP 🙏

If you want to rip the shit out of someone or tell them that you just f*cked their mother or whatever, thats fine.
But  "No more Russell Rash!" is lame and disrespectful. I dont care what .com we're on

I remember Russell Rash at Roosevelt Raceway. He was competing there with some of the best drivers of all time. Rest In Peace Mr. Rash.

I wrote a nice obit for the dude.

I can't help what wizardofguralsjiz z says or does.

You want me to fuck Russell Rash's mama...She must be a 110 yo corpse too

And that effort is greatly appreciated.
My beef was with the wizard.
Youre good by me
And I'm sure you have excellent oral hygiene.

Russell had arms like Popeye; strong, strong, strong.  He was the "go-to" driver for a few trainers if they had a "puller" whom they couldn't train out of it.  Always seemed to give "honest" drives.  As one gets older it is more difficult to hear of the passing of those we knew or worked with over our lifetime.

Yes, the title was poorly-worded, but I don't think it was meant disrespectfully.

So long Russell!!
