The Episcopal Church has lost a faithful servant and good friend in Russ Palmore. We will sorely miss the wit and wisdom he offered the Diocese of Virginia and the wider Church over decades. His abundant gifts will continue to bless us for years to come. May Russ rest in peace, and rise in glory, and may his family and friends know that he is held in the palm of Godâs hand.
The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori
Presiding Bishop and Primate
