Russell, Dr. Gregory Francis
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear father, grandfather, great grandfather, husband, brother, uncle and friend, Gregory Francis Russell, April 5, 2022 in St. John’s.
Predeceased by his wife, Joan (Wilson) Russell, his father and mother, Jim & Marie Russell, his brother, Derm Russell, and his sister, June Petten, and so many more relatives and friends.
Leaving to mourn with wonderful and lasting memories, his children Patricia(Wayne) Wall, Susan(Robert) Anthony, Paul Russell, Jim Russell, his six grandchildren, his great grandchildren, and so many relatives and friends.
Greg was famous for his music on both the piano and on his accordion which followed him everywhere. He also left many hand carved critters on mantles in many a cabin, paintings on many a wall, created a Jamaican nightclub in the basement of one of our homes, and his mark in many more ways. Some will remember the times he sailed backwards when so happy he didn’t notice the tide change, or laughing on a catamaran streaking along up on one pontoon when the wind decided to join in the fun. So many more times and stories will be shared at the wake.
Greg grew up on Calver Street in St. John’s, graduated from Dalhousie in 1959, was a Family Doctor in Grand Bank, Placentia, and St. John’s (delivering many many babies along the way, with the name Gregory in good preponderance), and spent his retirement in Paradise with his wonderful wife Joan.
