In Memoriam

February 7, 1947 - October 6, 2021

Russ was hired by Tigers on April 30, 1973 and quickly became one of the more endeared instructors in the training department.  If you had a problem, Russ could solve it for you.

Russ loved the sea and is shown at the helm of his boat below.

He unfortunately struggled with cancer for the past 9 years of his life and passed away at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA at 7:20 pm on October 6th.  The past year his health kept declining, but Russ felt he was going to get better. He leaves behind his wife, Jan, and their daughter, Kristen.

Rest in Peace Russ.
