Russ Hillsgrove

Always Russ or Russell, Russ Hillsgrove, Grasmere Avenue. The most amazing person, father, husband, Papa and great Papa passed into the loving arms of his God, walking confident with his Jesus on January 14th, 2022. He taught us so much about life, adventures... hardships... how to endure any obstacle. His tenacity and strength for life, always making memories that counted is a sheer blessing to all of us. His stories of life were amazing, sometimes sad, sometimes fun, always real to his heart... he would do anything to ensure the happiness of his loved ones. He was true, real, kind, humble.. his family meant everything to him. The many pictures on his walls showed a lifetime of love. He wasn't one to complain, he was a free spirit that always wanted all of us to be happy. He was simple. No drama. He taught us that life is short and to live it to the fullest. He loved his music... the blues, his 40's and 50's music, his music from Woodstock.... He loved all music... he lived through his music and his life was always punctuated by a good song. His stories will always live on. And his laugh, that belly laugh. He was truly hilarious! His stories will run in the family forever, Always entertaining and we will all carry those on forever. He lived a walk of life that we can all cherish. His quote was " I live in faith and confidence that Jesus walks with me!" He said that wherever he went as was firm in his love for God and his promises. He will be forever missed by his daughters, Anne and Barb, his Grandchildren Alyssa, Jessica, Bailie, Taylor, Cole, Kyle and Ava His Great Grandchildren Jace, Jaxson, Jon, Rayne and Jasper. And many other family members. He joins his dad, Papa Joe and his wife Audrey in heaven, and our hearts beat knowing they are dancing together with no more pain. Thank you, God for giving us the blessing of this man. His Beauty lives on in all of us. He truly was The Man, the Myth, the Legend.
