Passed away peacefully on September 15, 2024 at the age of 60 years. Dear son of Alice and the late Laurence. Beloved husband of Kathy “Kitten”, and he was her “poops” for 13 years. Loving father of Marshall Vail (Kyla), Blake Vail (Celeste), Tara Lord (Jim), and Shawn Lord (Kiara). Grampy of Desmond, Tenille, Vivian, Lily, and Julian. Brother of Ricky, Kevin, Ronnie (deceased) Bev, Betty Lou, Kimberly, Lorraine, Marilyn, Karen, and Tony. Russell will be missed also by many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Russell was a great guy, “a real gem”. He was handy, able to fix just about anything. He enjoyed keeping himself busy and was always willing to lend a hand to others. He continued to stay active until he could no longer do so. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Tuesday, September 24th, 2024, from 4 – 8 p.m. at The Army Navy Air Force Club, 52 Morrow Rd, Barrie, ON. Friends and Family are welcome, light refreshments will be available.
