A peaceful, soft-spoken person who enjoyed all that life had to offer. His charis- matic personality, handsome- looks, willingness to always help others and million-dollar smile brought him the love of many from Tampa to Dallas and beyond. Russell lived his life in accords with the song by Frank Sinatra, “My Way”.

Wilson, Sr., of Cedar Crest Funeral Home.
