Russell was born in Church Point, LA and was residing in Jennings, LA. He died on Monday, August 10, 2009 in the S.W. LA. War Veterans Retirement Home. Russell served his Country during WWII in the U. S. Army and then went to work for the St. Landry Parish School System as Supervisor of Transportation for 40 years, was a past member of the National Teachers Association, part member of the St. Landry Parish Retired Teacher Association, and was voted St. Landry Parish Educator of the year; receiving this award at the Indian Hills Country Club where he was a member and a very avid golfer. Russell was the epitome of integrity, character, father hood and known as a very loving spouse. Russell was no stranger to hard work and saw the value in such. He learned his lessons well and taught them to anyone willing to listen. His best days were spent in the country under the Century Oaks after a hard days work enjoying a beer and bar-b-queing for his family. The mark that Russell left on this World is indelible.
