Russell mastered several vocations but chose to spend most of his life farming. He then finished his career in the work force as an employee in the lab department at Johnson State College. Being a long time member of the Nazarene Church, Russell served in many capacities including; Sunday school teacher, Church Board member, Treasurer, Sunday School Superintendent as well as performing many other necessary tasks. Some of his favorite nonchurch related activities were fishing, word games, puzzles and following professional sports. Russell also greatly enjoyed maintaining his lawn and garden and attending to the needs of his children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. In his later years, Russell was lovingly cared for by his family and other wonderful in-home care providers. Thank you Nancy. They were well supported by Lamoille Home Health and Hospice and the Meals On Wheels program.

Russell will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His family has found comfort in knowing that he is still with us in our hearts and thoughts and his influence will continue on for many generations to come.
