My deepest condolences to the family. I was honoured to have Prof. Russell as one of my professors while I went back to school as a mature student in the French Department. I had the pleasure of meeting him again when I joined the Spanish Dept. and had the opportunity to have him as a colleague. He will always be remember fondly.
My thoughts and prayers to you all.

David and I send our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Delbert Russell. We were shocked to hear of his passing. Delbert was a dearly loved and respected cousin, who always had a smile on his face. I have a fond memory of singing a duet with him "I came to the garden alone" at a little Redickville country church, when we were both still living with our birth families. Later, when I was training to be an x-ray technician at Toronto General Hospital, Delbert called me and we had supper together at a chicken restaurant which predated Swiss Chalet. ( Dating practice for him ? or just the act of a considerate young man ?) In more recent years, at the family Snell Reunions, Delbert always spent some time chatting with my elderly father, even going up to visit him (when he was a resident of the Shelbune Dufferin OAKS) after one of those Snell gatherings when my father was not feeling up to attending that year. My father passed away four years ago, and I like to think that he met Delbert at the Pearly Gates along with a Heavenly Host including Glen, Marion, Lorene, Ralph, Gary and a multitude of others. Rest in Peace, Delbert. You will be Missed !

Delbert was a wonderful colleague, friend and mentor to me in my first years in the Department of French Studies. As fellow medievalists, we had many stimulating conversations filled with laughter. My sincere condolences go out to you Ruth, your daughters and their families.

Sending my most heartfelt sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. When I saw Delbert's photo I was instantly transported back in time to grade school with Jocelyn, when we would put on 'performances' for her parents. They were so engaged and seemed to be genuinely entertained. I'm sure Delbert will be missed by all who knew him.

Delbert was a very special friend and an excellent cook and host. Winston and I were fortunate to have celebrated birthdays for a number of years at his and Ruth’s home, at our home or at restaurants. He was always interesting and we had many great discussions on any number of topics. The impact of his death upon his family will be most keenly felt. We, too, shall share in his loss and miss his pleasant company. May your soul rest in peace. Diana and Winston Cherry.

My cousin Delbert who loved to read, sang so beautifully and had a great sense of humor. He will be missed by many, especially his family and I extend my sympathy to all of them. What an amazing, well rounded life he had. May he rest in peace.
