It is with heavy hearts we say not goodbye, but goodbye for now to Russell Kenneth Blessington. A beloved husband to Melanie, Step Father to Lara and Grandfather to Christian, Jordan, and Aidan. Russell was the much loved big brother to Chris, Terry, and Gregory. His brother Keith preceded him in death and was waiting at the gates to greet him along with Russell's mother Therese and Father Thomas. Jerry was Russell's most dear friend and was his family not by blood, but by choice. Russell was an avid skier, equestrian, outdoors man and adventurer. Most of all he was a rock to all those that knew and loved him. Always there no matter what the circumstance to help those he loved. Again we do not say farewell to Russell, because this is not farewell. This is goodbye for now until we meet again. Holland Funeral Service & Crematory has the privilege to care for the Blessington family. favorite_border Donations Pledges
