Malcolm "Mac" Russell 1953-2008
In loving memory of a very near and dear, amazing person. Mac was so special to so many people and much to our dismay, passed away suddenly on Christmas Day. The world has lost one of the most thoughtful, selfless, caring people I know and will be missed terribly. I still can't believe you're gone. We will always love you and will keep your memory alive everyday until we meet again. Until then, keep a spot open for me at the poker table Macky. Gone but NEVER forgotten.

Mac you were my dearest friend May you rest in peace sadly missed and never forgotten you will always have a special place in my heart where you live on forever Love you always till we meet again. Darlene
Mac, you were a big part of my family and we all loved you very much. We still had thousands of games of backgammon left in us and now I won't ever play again because it's all downhill after playing against an "all universe" player like yourself for so long.Now that you're in heaven you can start proving it.You were a huge inspiration in my life, and life is going to be a challenge moving on from here.The void you left can never be filled and I miss you more than words can describe. Keep the backgammon board close by and save your loonies because I will be looking for you.
Love
Jay
Such a loss of a great man who had so much more living to do! I fondly remember the murder mystery night when he was dressed up as a very homely woman - he was so much fun! Mac was family to the Hallam clan and I know this loss is beyond words. Take good care of yourselves - much love, Stacey XO
mac daddy I remember back in 58 or 59 when you started school at renfrew annex and i was to young to attend.That broke my heart not to have you to play with all day long and that day in september was the first time i shed tears for you.50 years later the tears are back but a lot harder to accept.My family is already missing you but we are so privalaged to hold a soft spot in your heart that knowing the love you felt for us will make it easier to overcome. have to go now and dry off my keyboard.
Love forever

This will be the third time I've sat down to write but the tears would start to fall so I would walk away. This time Im going to be strong, which is what you would have wanted Mac. You were taken from us to fast and to early and we didn't get to say goodbye. When I think of how unfair life is, I see your smile and hear your encouraging words of advice. I'll miss playing poker, listening to your really long stories and Macisms, which always made us smile.
I love you,
Jaime

I know it was you looking out for us.Well my dear friend you make sure you come around and visit.You will never be forgotten from my heart.Untill we meet again my friend love you!!

Dad, These last few weeks have been extremley hard for me and the rest of the family. I know you are close and are helping me along the way because i wouldnt have been able to be this strong on my own. I am going to miss our sunday mornings together at the Hearty Boy but Im glad we were able to spend that time together. Im also glad Dylan and I moved back from Alberta and were able to have the best roommate ever. He misses you as if you were his own father. No need to worry about Lizzy. I have been taking care of her and she is doing ok. I know she misses how you used to bonk heads with eachother after you would let her in from being outside. Ive told Jesse how upset I am that you wont be there to walk me down the aisle, and he is going to do it. I am really heartbroken by this but at the same time really glad Jesse will be there for me. I love him alot. I dont know what we are going to do with all of your hockey cards, hotwheels, star wars and beanie babies. there is so much stuff to sort through. I miss you so much and wish i was able to hug you and tell you how much i love you. I am really glad we spoke Christmas morning. I can still feel the last hug you gave me before Dylan and I left for Edmonton. I will cherish it forever. Goodbye Pauther I love you forever.Love Furl.
