Russ worked for Boeing Vertol in Philadelphia, Pa., for 35-plus years until his retirement in early 2000. He also helped his wife Donna for 25 years in her dance studio, located in Vineland, N.J., where he was her “Music Man” and accountant. Russ loved to work with wood, building model cars/trucks, and his train village he had for many years.
