By JANET HART LEONARDHe was just one of the Good People

My mother hasused that expressionwhen she describedsomeone who alwaystried to do the rightthing when it came totreating others well

That describes myfriend Dick Russellwho passed away thisweek at the young age

of 68I knew Dick most of my life He was

married to Katie Cecil Katie and I grew uptogether in the Nazarene Church

Dick was so well known in the commu-nity that upon his death this week Face-book was filled with Dick Russell picturesand stories

And they were good storiesDick was in law enforcement throughout

most of his life first with the HamiltonCounty Sheriffs Department then theNoblesville Police Department

As the police chief he had the reputationof going around town and getting to knowpeople He knew people by name He wasnice to people whether he was having a cupof coffee with them or arresting them Helistened to people There is a differencewhen you are in a conversation withsomeone who talks and someone who lis-tens He was a listener

Dick for the most part had a smile onhis face A smile that reminded me of SheriffAndy Taylor on Mayberry In fact his wholedemeanor was that of Andys A man of

kindness and fairness A man who was moreof an advisor than a lecturer There is a hugedifference

He passed his love of community serviceto his sons Rick and Jonnathon as well ashis daughter Elizabeth

Elizabeth grew up to be a teacher whereshe made a difference in the HamiltonHeights School System Rick became afireman and arson investigator and Jonn hasworked for the City of Noblesville most of

Gonna miss my friend

Dick was a career policeman He hadbeen an officer on the Cicero and CarmelPolice Departments the HamiltonCounty Sheriffs Department and finallychief of the Noblesville PD before he hadto retire due to health issues after 13years service He was a graduate of LeeCollege in Kentucky and the FBINational Academy

refereeing basketball games and some ofhis other off-duty activities could be humor-ous and downright spellbinding all told withhis native Virginia drawl

It seemed as though Dick knew everyonein Hamilton County something that isprobably impossible today but it sureseemed likely when talking with him Heknew school officials throughout the areafrom his refereeing and law enforcementduties He knew police officers here andelsewhere as well as political leaders busi-nessmen and young people he came incontact with through his work He also hada good recollection of the bad guys he hadnabbed over the years

Dick had a great and supportive familyHis wife Katie is well known in the localbanking business where she worked formany years One son Rick is a divisionchief at the Noblesville Fire DepartmentThere is a second son Jonn and daughterElizabeth who is married to football coachKevin Wright
