Leave a tribute for Russ Gramer.
I just learned today (5.23.23) that my good friend and mentor, Russ, passed away. Russ was one of the greatest people I have ever known. He taught me almost everything I know about being a recovery counselor. I was deeply humbled to count him as a friend. I wish his family the best. Peter R. McGuire
