Age 61.

Beloved son of the late Edward and Bertha.  Dear brother of Barbara Weiland Madison, Edward (Tina), and the late John.  Adored uncle of Edward (Kaylee) and Jeffrey.  He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by many family members and friends.

Russell graduated in 1981 from Garden City High School East where he was on the wrestling team.  After high school, he played organized soccer, fantasy football, and followed NASCAR enjoying trips to the races with his friends.  From a little boy, Russell's great love was fishing and visiting the Foote Dam impoundment near Oscoda with family and many friends.  Near retirement, he bought a cottage in the Foote Site Village to achieve his dream and spend more time in his happy place.

Arrangements were handled privately.
