Russ was known as a great husband, father, and friend. He served whenever and wherever he could. Russ was a proud military veteran, serving his country in the United States Air Force. He worked for his community as a firefighter with Clinton Township. Very involved with his church community, he helped on projects where he could, and also traveled to assist on projects out of state. But the greatest thing is Russ’s life was his family, particularly his kids. He loved them more than anything, sharing with them what he could; He and his daughters became pilots, and Russ shared his love for tinkering and ability to fix anything with his sons. Russ was greatly loved, and will be deeply missed.
