Reginald RUSSELL Obituary

RUSSELL, Reginald - Reg —

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Reginald George Russell at the age of 82 on October 20, 2015 at Credit Valley Hospital. Reg spent six years in the Royal Canadian Air Force before joining Trans Canada Airlines (Air Canada) in 1958. He also flew for some time for the Naval Reserve. He retired as an Air Canada Captain on 767's in 1991 after having flown for 33 years and 2 months. Reg's favourite pastime in retirement was golfing with his beloved daughter, Lori. He is survived by his devoted wife of 56 years, Irene Elizabeth (nee Keith) and his sister, Barbara Lillian Helme. Loving father of Reginald John (Sherri), Robert Gordon (Tammy), and Lorinne Elizabeth. His memory will forever be in the hearts of his grandchildren; Daniel, Jonathan, Chelsea, Alicia, Laura, Eric, and his nieces and nephews. A private family gathering will be held at the end of the month. Captain Russell, you are cleared for takeoff! Online condolences may be made through www.turnerporter.ca

Regrettably we only had the pleasure of being Reg's neighbor for a short period of time. I will miss listening to his stories of flight over a beer. Irene and family, may he remain in your memories and hearts forever.
