I knew Rusty Mills at Auburn VA prior to my retirement in 2019. He was a very nice and honorable man and really enjoyed teaching archery at Stanford University over three years. I was fortunate to know him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rusty while he was a resident at Sonrisa. He always greeted me with a smile and asked me how my golf game was as he recognized my golf hat. I looked foreword to seeing him every time I visit my mother. He will be missed and my condolences to his family and loved ones. I only regret I wish I had meet him sooner in life but nevertheless it was an honor.
