A passionate golfer, Russ spent many awesome days on the greens with clubs in hand, ready for tee off time.  He was especially fond of watching others golf, so much so that he would travel distances to observe their game on the course.

Russell leaves behind his dear wife, Margie, loving sons, Michael and his wife, Grace Ann of Pennsylvania, Russell and his wife, Susan of Spotswood, and Joseph and his partner, Nancy Steinmacher of Keyport, his grandchildren, Jared, Paul, Vincent, Christina, Jeff, Matthew and his wife, Julia, Brian, Allen and his wife, Alex, great grandson, Damian, and many dear lifelong friends.
