John Alden Russell ’28

John Russell died on Apr. 7, 1989, at Columbia Hospi¬tal, in Milwaukee. He was educated at the Milwaukee Country Day School. At Princeton, he majored in poli¬tics, was active in musical clubs, was a member of Dial Lodge, and roomed all four years with his older brother and classmate, Copeland, who died in 1981. Bud attended Harvard Law School for two years prior to enter¬ing the insurance business in Milwaukee. He spent his entire career with the George H. Russell Co., the John A. Russell Co., and the Thorning-Gorman Agency. He retired in 1979.

Bud was active in business and real estate, and as a resident of the suburban area of Shorewood, he suc¬ceeded in preventing high-rise apartments from being built along the lakefront. He was a charter member and governor of the Wisconsin chapter of the Mayflower Society. He won the state amateur golf championship when he was 19, and he maintained his interest in golf, as well as in tennis and squash. He and his family enjoyed vaca¬tions in Canada. He was a faithful member of the Roman Catholic Church.

Bud married Agnes Clare Milne on Apr. 23, 1942. They had four children: Mary Carroll, John Jr., Baxter (who died at the age of 22 in a mountain-climbing acci¬dent), and Richard C. Bud remained a loyal Princeton¬ian throughout his life and was active in the local Prince¬ton club. We remember him as a fine gentleman and faithful friend, and our sympathy is with Agnes and the family.
