Passed into the presence of his Lord and Savior with loving family by his side. The incredible devotion and care of family enabled us to cherish our remaining time together at home. Much appreciation also goes out to VIHA, the Palliative Care Teams and the Red Cross for all the resources provided along with their on-going support and compassion.
Russell was predeceased by his brother, Blair. He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Ginny; daughters, Catherine (Dale), Carolyn (Gord); grandchildren, Breanne (Taylor), Matthew (Katie) and Nathan; sister-in-law, Dorothy; niece and nephews, Lisa, Blair and Dwayne (Christine) and family; cousin, Janet Fulton.
Dad’s faith in God never wavered and, regardless of circumstances, he always remarked on how blessed he was and how good God is. We are thankful to have had such a faithful, loving, thoughtful, humble, genuine, witty, wise man as a husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at Elk Lake Baptist Church, 5349 Patricia Bay Hwy, Victoria, BC with a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be gratefully accepted to the Scholarship Fund of Northwest Seminary and College (nbseminary.ca/donate or 7600 Glover Road, Langley, B.C., V2Y 1Y1, in memory of Russ Anderson).

Ken Franks Russ was like a mentor and friend to me we worked together for many years growing the business and developing client relations.
Cheryl and I would often run into Russ either in Hillside or on our walks, he always took time to stop and visit as a friend would. We shall miss his smile but take comfort in knowing that a much larger audience now shares in his warmth.

I was just thinking of you guys today, as I have many days over the years – with gratefulness in my heart for your generosity when I was just a neighbourhood kid – and decided to do a quick search. I’m so sorry Russell is gone. I have very fond memories of all the hours and days spent in your home. Thank you.
