Russell was a kind and generous man of great integrity. He was a true gentleman who respected the human- ness of all, without judgment. He was greatly respected for his leadership within St Vincent de Paul. He is now at peace. We extend our deepest sympathies to Judy and family at this incredibly sad time. Much love, Judy.
