Graham Russell Obituary
Formerly of Avondale, PA - Graham Paul Russell, 61 died peacefully at home on Tuesday, June 11, 2019. Born and raised in Wilmington, DE, Graham began his professional career with Dupont in the engineering division then went on to co-found Precision Inspection, Inc. where he remained for over 20 years. He retired in May, 2017 to enjoy his new life in Sarasota, Florida.
He was blessed with an "extended family" of life-long friends and a wicked sense of humor.

He is survived by Maria, his sister Barbara (Dwayne Jennings), Maria's family and his extended family of friends who will miss him dearly. Graham was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph & Louise.

Condolences to Graham's family. I remember Graham from his grade school days at St John the Beloved. He was a good friend and always a good person to all. I lost touch with him through the years but Graham will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

The Russell family and extended family.
I worked with Graham at DuPont years ago, he was funny and so energetic. We had a good group of co- workers and had many laughs and memorial times. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
