My lovely, caring big brother Russell has passed away. Peacefully accepting what lay ahead, Russell departed this life on the morning of May 12, 2025. A long life was much enjoyed by Russell especially as he involved himself in many sporting activities. His passing will leave a huge gap in the lives of his sister Colleen (Cole), her children Greg, Wendy and Jason and their partners Donna, Sue, and families. Russell will never be forgotten.
