Russ' family and friends will cherish his memory forever. Russ was a loving husband and father with strong family values. He spent many evenings with family and friends at the card table over the years, including his beloved "Rummoli Night" every Saturday for the past several years. Russ was a father-figure to many extended family members, including his nephew Bob, son-in-law Ken, and stepson Paul who are all thankful for his unconditional love, support, and guidance. Russ touched the lives of so many people, and will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Russ followed an incredibly diverse career path. He took on every position and industry with passion, truly enjoying each of his many endeavors. Everyone loved his many stories and he captivated his audience with each one he told, no matter how many times he told it. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue, with reception to follow. Russ was a big supporter of the Siloam Mission. He always said that if he ever won the lottery, he would give a good portion of his winnings to them, so in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Siloam Mission, 300 Princess St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 1M3.
