Russell Dee Wilburn

Nelda and I always enjoyed our visits with Russ

I met Russ through my late wife Nelda, his cousin, he was a friend from the beginning, he stopped by our place many times either going to or coming from the San Juan Islands when he went to visit his Daughter up there. He kept in touch even after Nelda passed, great guy and friend!!

When I became friends with Caroline Armon, I was fortunate to get to know her father, Russ. Always upbeat, friendly, and welcoming, I felt as though I had known Russ for many years. He was the kind of father that any daughter would be lucky to have. I am grateful to have met Russ and happy to have my memories of him.

Russ helped me, my son & his wife purchase our first home.
He was always the life of the party when we went for family get togethers. Always made me laugh and was very passionate about the family!!

Thank you, Russ, for your Real Estate mentoring.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

He loved unconditionally, listened intently and cared deeply about each of us. Uncle Ozzie always made us laugh, he had the best stories and I will miss hearing them.

I remember "Mr. Wilburn" well (I am 64 years old now, but still think of him as that, with respect). I was his daughter, Caroline's first "boyfriend with a car." When I came over to pick her up for the first time, he humorously said, "Here's the rules, young man. No hugging, no kissing, keep your hands in your pockets or on the steering wheel at all times." I was innocent enough as it was and his orders intimidated me into keeping it that way, I knew I would be toast if I didn't behave! ...
