Mr. Richard Jacques Russette

Richard was preceded in death by his loving wife of over 50 years, Barbara; his sister, Mary Lou Hazzard; and his granddaughter, Kelly Russette.

Richard was a devoted father to Dan (Holly); Debbie (Dave) Miserez; Sandy (Phil) Nowacki; Robert (Annmarie); and Karen (Jeff) Hauk.

He is also survived by his much loved, youngest brother, Robert Russette.

He was a beloved grandfather to Kathryn, Danny, Kevin, Stephen, Michael, Matthew, Brendan, Lauren and Jamie; and a cherished great-grandfather to Carter and Landon.

Richard spent more than 50 years in the automotive industry. His work ethic was matched only by his devotion—to his faith, his family and to the United States Marine Corps, in which he proudly served during the Korean War. His family will forever cherish the special memories of summers at the cottage and the warmth of the holidays, especially Christmas, which he held so dear.
