Russell Belleci Obituary

Resident of Antioch
Russ will be missed deeply by his wife of 56 years, Sondra; his son, Mark (Christine); his grandchildren, Tyler and Cali; his brothers, Frank, Anthony (Diane), and Paul (Audrey).
Russ spent his early years in Pittsburg, a few blocks from the river. After graduating from Pittsburg High School, he earned an AA Degree from Diablo Valley College, served in the Army Reserve, and became an Instrument Technician for U.S. Steel/USS Posco retiring after 34 years. He continued working for contractors for several years after retirement and served on various local boards and agencies.
Russ enjoyed traveling with his wife, boating, fishing, duck hunting, and volunteering for the Antioch Riverview Garden Club, Bridgehead Marina Yacht Club, and the Sons of Italy. He served as a delegate for U.S. Steel/USS Posco in Korea and also spent 2 weeks in Chichibu, Japan as part of their Sister City Program.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Salvation Army, Antioch Corps Processing Center, PO Box 6009, Prescott, AZ 86304 or your favorite charity. Remembrances will be shared at a later date.
