Firecrafter

Come on down for some service!

It is with great sadness that Firecrafter reports that M Russell "Russ" B. Chorpenning has gone on to face the Unknown Test.

Russ earned his Firecrafter in 1977 and was crowned Minisino in 1983. He was a lifelong volunteer with Scouting across many different facets but has left an indelible legacy on Firecrafter in particular. Among other things, he was a vital part of Friday night dinners at Belzer and served as Alumni Treasurer for over 20 years.

Please see the attached obituary for details about the viewing and graveside service. In place of flowers, the family has requested donations to the American Heart Association or Crossroads of America Council.
