Russ proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1966-1968. Following his service, he became a skilled machinist and worked for Varian/CPI for 44 years, where he was respected and admired by his peers.
He was an avid hunter, fisherman, outdoorsman, classic car enthusiast, and could fix anything. Russ was a man of integrity and selflessness and was truly one of a kind. He was an exceptional husband, father, and friend and will be loved and missed by all who were lucky enough to cross his path.
The family is thankful for Willow Creek Alzheimer's & Dementia Care in Castro Valley for the wonderful care they provided Russ.
