    RUSSELL, David Arthur. The Russell family is sad to announce the passing of David. He passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning. A loving brother, husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to many. For those wishing to pay their respects you can do so at Geards Kaitaia until close of business Friday.
