Russell Cobb Obituary
Russ was an avid sports fan, so much so that he was known by the nickname Mick for his love of the baseball player Mickey Mantle. He was a member of the RNHL hockey league in Hamilton for 40 years, where he made many lifelong friends.
Known to be an excellent conversationalist, Russ maintained and cultivated his friendships, some going back over 60 years. He was a kind-hearted, trustworthy and selfless person who was always willing to go out of his way to help a friend. He will be deeply missed and well remembered by his family and friends.
He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Loraine and Stephen Fielder, both of Orangeville, nephew Simon Fielder of Toronto, and niece Danielle Restivo of Wonersh, Surrey, United Kingdom.

Russell was my cousin, and I remember very happy occasions when he and Lorraine came to Indiana with their dad, Uncle Leonard, to visit us. I was trying to reach him to say that his Auntie Glenda had passed away on April 25th at age 92. I was shocked at this news. Lorraine, if you see this, love to you and your family and I am so very sorry. Laurel
Should you have occasion, please let those in England know about Glenda, won't you? My email is [email protected] .

When we lose a friend and nice person, it reminds us of how nice and friendly Russ was. A real classy guy full of interesting stories. Condolences to the family.
