Russell HALE Obituary

14th October 1958 -
22nd February 2025

In memory of a much loved husband, father, father-in-law, grandad and son who tragically and too soon left us suddenly one year ago.

You never said I'm leaving.
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it and only God knew why.

A million times we've needed you.
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life, we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.
In our hearts, you hold a place, no one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you, the day God took you home.

Loved always and forever.
Your Loving Family.

"It is not the statistic of the length of a life but the significance of the quality of a life"

It is heartwarming to think that the charming, little 2nd-cousin whom I knew as a schoolboy maintained a lifetime innocence that matured into devotion, loyalty and so much love.

Surely, a treasurable memory for many and an example for us all?

RIP, Russell

Hugs to you all at this sad time. Thinking of you Russell was a great nephew miss seeing him out and about on his motorbike with his dogs.
