To the Reid family, so sorry to hear about Russell’s passing, he will be missed by all who knew him.
To Maria and family .. I cannot imagine your loss and sadness at this difficult time.
Knowing Russell from our Sunday School and Youth Group days in Chatham .. he was a character!
I have the most cherished memories of the Reid family and will always.
Sending love from the Bennett families today and always.

On behalf of Wawa Mustangs, Wawa Minor Hockey, and Michipicoten Junior Golf we want to thank Russell for his belief, and continued support of all Youth Development programming through Wawa Rotary. If you had a youth support idea, Russell would help polish it and coordinate a presentation to Rotary for funding.
Thank you Russell, you have made an impact and will truly be missed!
All of our condolences to Maria and family.
