Russ passed away on April 7, 2024 after several years of battling Lewy Body Dementia and the Parkinson’s Disease that accompanies it. When his wife Mary sent his obituary (above) she noted that, because “Russ absolutely LOVED his four years at St. Mary's and was so proud of being a Gael,” she added his graduation photo to the obituary “to celebrate ‘the way he was’ way back then.”
