Russ was a lovely man & so dedicated to Ysgol Heulfan. Thinking of Julia & all the family at this heartbreaking time. Sending lots of love xxx

Russ always made me smile at Ysgol Heulfan. He was my Knight in shining armour when I twisted my ankle and couldnt drive home. He cracked Jokes all the way home and delivered me safely. My heart goes out to Julia and Alfie George ❣
