I'm deeply saddened to learn that Express Times Reporter Russ Flanagan, who has covered the crime beat at the courthouse for the past five years, died suddenly, apparently on Tuesday morning.
To give you some perspective on the type of fellow Russ was, his competitor at The Morning Call - Tyra Braden - is the person most saddened by this tragic loss at the courthouse. Another testament to the kind of person he was comes from courthouse custodians, who tell me Russ always took the time to talk to them.
This is a tragic blow to The Express Times, and to the rest of us as well.

Thank you for the kind words about Russ. He was a close friend and coworker at The Express-Times. I miss him more than words can express.
