In loving memory of Colin Russell who sadly passed away on 16th March 2022.

Husband to Glynis for 34 years, dad to Becca and Lindsay, brother to Susan, Barry and Ian and granddad (Gogo) to wee Sophia. He was funniest, kindest and most genuine person who always put everyone first before himself. He really was the salt of the earth.

The family respectfully ask for no flowers at the service, and instead if you are able to, please make a donation to Marie Curie via the following JustGiving link. All donations will go directly to the Glasgow Marie Curie hospice, where Colin received the best of care. The staff there were outstanding and the family can’t thank them enough for everything they do.

The funeral tea will be held at the Dram pub, 232 Woodlands Road G3 6ND. Everyone is welcome to come tuck into the buffet and raise a wee glass for Colin ❤️

Dress Code: please don’t feel obliged to wear black. Wear whatever colour you like.

I’m so glad I was able to take Colin on a tour of Ibrox earlier this year with brother-in-law Alan and nephew John. He was so chuffed. It was a memorable day. From the first day I met Colin 22 years ago he made me feel so welcome in the family. Stuart
