Bob Russell, a prominent figure in lacrosse for decades in the state and beyond, died Tuesday. He was 69.
Former players and their parents left remembrances on the death notice at Madison’s Swan Funeral Home. One said Russell had quietly recommended her son to the college where he now plays. Another said his sons always called him “Coach Russell, Dad’s First Coach.”
The Connecticut Lacrosse Foundation inducted Russell into its Hall of Fame in 2016, noting that he was the longest-serving president of CONNY, the Connecticut New York Youth Lacrosse Association. He served on several US Lacrosse executive committees and was an assistant coach at Hand.
