POLAND, Ohio – Charles William (Bill/Charlie) Russell of East Liverpool moved on to a peaceful place on Friday Feb. 27, 2015 at the Hospice House in Poland following a lengthy illness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, June Forester and one aunt, Dorothy Quring.
Bill was mill wright at the former Crucible Steel in Midland and retired in 1982. He also proudly served his country in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War.

He married his wife, Helen, on Oct. 16, 1982 and instantly inherited three children, remaining their father for the next 33 years until his death.
