Russell moved to Akron Ohio at a very early age. Before his teenage years, he moved to Cleveland/Euclid, OH area, where he finished his formal education. Russ was classified by the US military to be 4F due to a broken eardrum, so he left school and entered a job at TRW helping manufacture supplies for the WAR effort! Yes, he did do his part for the war. After the end of the World War II, he returned to school for his diploma and worked for 23 years at TRW prior to moving to Tucson, AZ in 1970. He was employed at Hughes Aircraft/Raytheon before retiring in 1988. He learned to fly here in Tucson as that was a lifelong dream. He was a member of the E.A.A. and secretary for a number of years.

His guitar was his next best girlfriend and he spent many wonderful hours with her. He taught beginner guitar for many years. He will be missed by a host of other relatives and friends especially at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church and the "Ladies at the Annex".
