Roger Russell, age 83, passed away peacefully on 02/06/2026

Born on 11/29/1942 in Niagara Falls, NY.

Roger lived a life defined by service, devotion, and quiet strength. He proudly served his country as a Captain of the United States Army, an experience that shaped his sense of duty, discipline, and love of country throughout his life.

Above all else, Roger was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He shared 56 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Lee Ping, building a life rooted in love, commitment, and family. As a father, he led by example-steady, patient, and dependable. As a grandfather, he was a source of unconditional love, leaving memories that will be cherished for generations.

Roger is survived by his wife, Lee Ping; his children, Margaret and William; his grandchildren, Philip, Pippa, William & Archie; son in law Brian & daughter in law Gemma.

He will be remembered for his integrity, his work ethic, his sense of humor, and his unwavering loyalty to those he loved. His legacy lives on through the family he cherished and the values he passed down.
