George L. Russell ’40

"Tom" Russell of Oxford, Pa., formerly of Gladwyn, Pa., died on July 25, 2001. He was 83. He was the son of George Lewis Russell '17, and prepared at William Penn Charter School. At Princeton he majored in psychology, was active in sports, and captained the varsity soccer team.

From 1942-46 Tom served in the Navy as a line officer on transport duty in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters and was discharged as a lieutenant commander. His last 25 years before retirement were spent in investment brokerage.

Tom had a keen sense of social responsibility, serving on boards and working in the area of rehabilitation with young alcoholics.

To his children, George L. III, Lee Walsh, and Anne McCulloch, and his four grandchildren, his classmates extend their sincere sympathy.
