It was a beautiful service that included a poem from Geoff Foster and his nephew Brett told a couple of funny stories.
It seems he lived a great and varied life, loved by many, with the good fortune of picking a life partner who shared his philosophies on how life should be lived.
His son made a point of thanking all the Magpies supporters who posted their memories of Russell on social media, it meant a lot to the family.
RIP Russell and thanks for the great afternoons you provided to a kid on the Lidcombe hill.

His son Ryan has posted a few photos on facebook and i hope he is ok with me posting one of Wests 1977 sqaud. Wow what a side - a lot of these guys were just starting out in first grade. Wayne Smith 21, Gavin Miller 17, Graeme O'Grady 24, Les Boyd 20, Mick Lubinskas 22, Ron Giteau 22, John Dorahy 22, John Donnelly 22, the old boys were Tommy 27, Geoff Foster25 and Russell Mullins 25. This was the Wests squad that won the Amco Cup in1977.

I spent it visiting friends at Randwick - all mad Rooster fans, and friendships were tested that night! 🤣
