Russell worked as a heavy equipment operator for the Titan Construction Company for many years. He enjoyed hunting, shooting, puzzles, a Friday night card game and was an avid bingo player, where he made many dear friends.

He was first married to Wanda McBride, who survives, then he was married to Sharon Baker Stannard, who passed away in 2008.

Doug Staggs, Tom Staggs, James Staggs, MaryAnn Carmichael, Tammy Jo Mundy, Roseanne Suggs, their spouses, children, and grandchildren, who lovingly referred to him as Papaw Roy.
