Rose,
We lost Russell King this week. He passed away June 12th, and was buried today.
I will always remember the huge forest painting with a deer in it, that his father painted on the entire back wall of his garage which was on Reservoir Ave. We were kids in elementary school.

ReplyDeleteI was so sad to hear about Russell King. He was a nice guy. This is getting very scary.

There's nothing more than I hate to hear than another our classmates
ReplyDeletehas passed on. Russell King's last address that we have was
Ocean Ave Revere. He is now number 53 on the deceased list.
His birthday is Sept 4.
If he was already buried , I wonder if Billy has any funeral parlor
details for condolence messages.
Very sorry to hear this news.

Thank you for sending the notice of Russell King's death. I feel bad. . . I hadn't seen him for so long but we grew up very near each other--he was on Reservoir Ave., practically right behind me, and two doors from my aunt and cousins--and we went to school together all those years, from McKinley to the high school. I don't remember him at any of the reunions, though. . . I wonder if anyone had seen him or kept in touch with him. And what caused his death, does anybody know?
