He spent his younger years in Collina, and graduated from SRHS, and went from there to become an engineer. In the early 80's Russ relocated to Hamilton, Ontario where he started the flyer business with the love of his life, Brenda and his two step children Jennifer and Justin, and friend Cecil who over the years became like part of the family. Russell and Brenda loved planning their trips to visit with family and friends, and where ever they ended up didnt matter, as Russ always made new friends where ever he stopped by. Russ had a couple of close buddies, that were life long friends, Jim Robinson, and Wayne Mazerolle. Russ enjoyed a good Bingo game, and was also the captain of a men's league, but gave this up and joined a mixed league, so he and Brenda could play together.
