Marcus and Russ drinking Piton in St Lucia
Welcome to Russell’s site
Russ once said he wanted people to celebrate his life, and wear Hawaiian shirts. We’ve all got different memories of him, and this site is about them. Please keep visiting, and with your help I hope we can rise to his challenge and raise a few smiles.

Pub crawl in memory of Russ
Simon's memorial pub crawl around Dorking went fabulously, thanks to everyone who turned up to toast our boy and play the drinking games. Some great value entertainment was provided by everyone who were caught out by the ever more difficult and random rules - you know who you are!
Tony’s cricket bat memorial
Thanks to Tony Ivey, who went all the way to Menorca to get Russ a signed cricket bat. It will be displayed alongside Russell's personal bat in the cricket club house, with a plaque in his memory.
