Some of Russell's greatest passions were his family, his love of St. Therese Catholic Church, and praying the Rosary daily. He donated his carpentry craftsmanship in building the altar and many of the other wooden fixtures of the sanctuary of St. Therese Church. Russell was also a life-long outdoorsman and hunter all the way through age 93. Together Russell and Elizabeth owned the Weston Tree Co. and for 41 years owned the Weston Green House. Russell loved to help others, he had the patience of a saint and a great sense of humor. He also started Weston's Boy Scout Troop #439 in 1967. For many years, Russell served on the Weston Fire & Police Commission. He proudly carried the retirement badge to this day. Russell will be deeply missed by his loving family.
