To Paul, Ango, Michael and John,
I am very sad that Russ Bannock has died. He was a really nice man. When my family lived on Doncliffe Drive, Mr. Bannock used to take me out to the country to cut down a Christmas tree. That was really fun. When he flew up to our cottage at Pointe au Baril, he took me for a ride in his turbo Beaver. It was a great looking plane and he was a good pilot. I will always have good memories of spending time with him.

Dear Bannock Family,
It has been a joy and a privilege to have known Russ for many years at Lake of Bays. He has been such an inspiration with his love of family and love of life. Our summer bridge games were very special times, with Russ a brilliant player and such enjoyable company. We will always remember him kayaking across the bay when at the cottage.
Please accept our sincere condolences,
Leslie & Neill Dunning (Calgary)

The the first mayor of Doncliffe Drive, it was great to have the Bannock's as neighbours and friends to this day. It is with pride when I visit my local legion, The Billy Bishop and when it comes up to share that I know Russ for his service in the war. Also touched by his continued help at the facility where his wife Norah spent time. And to live past 100. Incredible.. and so healthfully. The Jr. Darts can look on in awe. Much love to his extended multi generational family. I wish I could be there Friday. Suzy Thomas

Peter and I were very sad to hear the news of his passing. What an amazing man and what a marvellous life he had. We were privileged to be present many times to hear of his tales and exciting adventures, especially with our Brother-in-law, Brad Richardson. He lived such an exemplary life that there is no doubt he was the most incredible influence on the multiple generations he left behind Rest in peace Russ. You have more than earned your wings.

I treasure all my wonderful Buzz' memories! I miss him already as a dear friend, father-in-law and golf buddy. Buzz will live on forever in our hearts. His endless stories and life lessons are a gift he has left each of us. Buzz will forever be the family patriarch at the head of the table. Love, Carla

Russ was a dear friend and fellow RCAF pilot during World War II. He visited our home on several occasions and we attended the last meeting of the remaining squadron members when it was held. Although my husband died in 2009 at the age of 88 I know he would have been deeply saddened at the death of his good friend Russ. I know they shared many memories together. So, sincerest condolences to the Bannock family from Donald A. MacFadyen, DSO, DFC and bar and his wife and son Roderick and Joy.

Russ has played a vital part in our lives. He and Norah as a couple of dear friends, and Russ
as a personal friend of Ted, both pilots in WW2.
They shared their love of golf, skiing, and just living life to the fullest.
Please accept the heartfelt sympathy of the
Topping family, as
this amazing life comes
to an end.
With affection
