Obituary of Earl W. Russell

Earl W. Russell

Earl passed away from us on August 24, 2022.  He had suffered long enough.  He waited with me until his brother was here on his final day at home then waited with me for our kids to be here in rehab at the Taylor Health Center.  He spent the first half of his illness at Arnot Ogden Memorial Hospital.  He said "Hi" to William and Veronica and called me his love name for me, "Mama Honey".  We were able to be with him until the end.

Earl was a very loving husband to me (Ruby) for 56 years.  Our children are William (Barbara) of Virginia and Veronica (Philip) of Missouri.  Earl was very proud of them and loved them.

Earl also leaves behind his brothers, Paul of Florida and Keith of Mississippi, five grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

Earl worked at Taylor Wine Co. as a filter operator for 30 happy years until they closed.  Too young, he went to Polly-O Dairy for 10 years before he retired.

Earl was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Viola Russell and granddaughter Amanda.

Earl was a former member of the Hammondsport Moose Club.

At his request there will be no services.  Earl was a friend to all and good friends with a few..
