Uncle Russell will be missed by many nieces and nephews who have spend many happy memorable times with him.
Russell was born on the family farm in the Enniskillen area and farmed the land until it was sold in the 70s. He then moved on to security work until his retirement. Russell resided on the farm property all his life until moving to Brooklin in 2011 and then Extendicare Nursing Home in 2017 to be with his wife Doreen.
