It was given as my task to write an obituary for my father. Unfortunately for the reader, this may seem a little different. My dad passed away quietly at 79 years old, my sister, Angela, and brother, Michael, just steps away, making sure he was kept comfortable. If you see the moon, you will see the beauty of God. If you see the Sun, you see the power of God. If you look in the mirror, you will see God's greatest creation. Myself (Jerry Jr), Michael, Steven and Angela were the luckiest to have him as our father, one of God's greatest creations. A man who loved his wife, Margaret, for almost all his whole life. She passed away a few years ago, and it broke his heart. His brother, sisters, and best friend Charles, were all better for being close to him. It would take a whole page to list those he touched, but he was my father. He was the best. Yet, his brother, Gerald, was also the best, just ask Tina, April or Eric. His sister Gwen was the best, just ask Johnny. As is his other still living siblings are the best, just ask. Bottom line is, hopefully your family, is blessed with a man or woman who never lost sight of faith and family. And this man, Jerry F Russell Sr, never, ever lost site of what is and what will always be important. He lives in me, just as your father or mother lives in you. Let love fill you, just as my Dad would want. I will miss him and always love him. I know we all will. Enjoy the fruits of your faith Big Man. I will see you again.
