In Russell’s younger years, he attended Queen Elizabeth High in Halifax where he enjoyed playing football. He would spend many weekends in Aylesford working the fields at the Myra farm and just hanging out with 70’s 8-track music with friends and his first car, the White HUGO.
Russell and his best friend Guy left Nova Scotia on the July 1st long weekend in 1980 with a case of oil, a full tank of gas and a borrowed tire. Destination was New York State to surprise friends Ross and Cathy who biked there from Nova Scotia for the Blues Brothers concert. They arrived on July 4 and surprised everyone. There was time to score two more tickets and a memory of a lifetime.
Russell was known as Twudgie Bear by his closest friends.
He had many lifelong Nova Scotia friends, He’d say, that he kept very close to heart, brother Kevin, Ross and Cathy, Betty Jackie, Geri, Joyce, Dave, Voyko, Stephen, Rodney, Bonnie and many others along the way. Russell was pre-deceased by close friends, Guy Ross, Tom Myra, Victor Stevens, Kris (Dick) McMullin, Anna Graves, Dawn Densmore and Alanna Densmore.
He started his early career as a Bell Hop and Room Service at the Holiday Inn Hotel at 99 Wyse Rd in Dartmouth, NS in 1979, managed by Atlific Inc where he first met Glen Squires. Russell was known to dress up as Orange Man and other costumes to promote the Hotel, back in the day.
It was 9 years later when Glen Squires formed Pacrim Hospitality Svc Inc and employed Russell at the Holiday Inn, St. John’s, NL in the Management Trainee position. Russell’s next placement was in Clarenville, NL as Food & Beverage and where he met his wife, Judy.
Russell spent extended times across Canada stretching from Langley, BC to Gander River, NL overseeing the pre-opening and purchasing at select hotels. There were a number of hotels that Russell worked as acting General Manager for Pacrim Hospitality Svc Inc, 25+ locations.
Russell was very knowledgeable in the industry and available to travel when needed.
Russell was honored with the name “Rocky” while he was managing Gander River Outfitters and Lodge Inc. Apparently Russell couldn’t go up the river without hitting rocks.
While in Clarenville, NL, Russell received the most awards for Food & Beverage across all of Canada.
He was such a pleasure to work with and eager to assist which led to his lifelong career with Pacrim Hospitality.
He was not just an employee, he was a friend.
