He was a CN aircraft mechanic who stayed in Texas and never went to DEN after the merger.
Russell started before Brady did.
Funeral will be Monday, 10 am, graveside at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth at 28th and Sylvania.
He lived in Blue Mountain and obituary should be in the FTW Star-Telegram in a day or so.
He was 93 or 94 years old.
