We didn't know Russell very well other than looking forward to seeing he and all his family gather next door each year for their family get together. We will miss him, he was always very polite to us. We loved his brother Marvin, our neighbor. We still share Millie as our Gloucester Point neighbor. We are so sorry, may God be with each of you.
