Shulfer, Russell Phillip

ENGLEWOOD, Fla. - Russell Phillip Shulfer, 60, died Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020, at his home in Englewood, Fla., following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.

He leaves behind his wife, Carol Shulfer; daughter, Caley; step-children, Cayla (Will) Gable, Jarin (Lindsay) Trakel, Zach Weekes; brothers, Mickey, Glen and Jimmy (Sue).

Russ is preceded in death by his parents, Mike and Florence Shulfer; and his sister, Paulette Kaminski.

Born and raised in Stevens Point, Wis., the son of Mike and Florence Shulfer, he was a graduate of UW-Stevens Point. In his early years, his favorite hobbies were UW Trivia, and following the Packers, Brewers, and the Bucks.

Russ had worked as a commercial lines underwriter for 35+ years and was well liked and respected by all who knew him.
