Born in Garfield, NJ and raised in South Bronx, NYC where he attended Stuyvesant High School. Russ served in the United States Air Force from 1952 to 1956. After service in the USAF, Russ attended Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA where he met the love of his life and married in 1959. His children were born in Williamsport, PA and the family moved to Collingswood, New Jersey in 1970. Russell was active in Collingswood youth sports.
