Born November 17, 1937, in Rockford, the son of Herbert and Della (Scofield) Case. Graduated from West High School in 1955. Russ married Dorothy K. Stotler on February 22, 1958, in Rockford. He worked for Sealtest Ice Cream, Bordens, Dean Foods, Texaco, and was a machinist for 23 years at EZ Machine. Although Russ was "semi-retired", he periodically delivered flowers for Garden Arts, Winnebago, drove the Winnebago Senior Citizens bus and was employed by the Winnebago Community School District #323 Transportation Dept. as a bus driver. His greatest joy, in addition to his family, was driving the big yellow bus. Russ was an avid Bears, Cubs and Winnebago Indians fan.

Russ also served on the Winnebago Village Board for 10 years and volunteered at the Rockford Area Rescue Mission, helping those who were less fortunate.
Russell is lovingly survived by his wife, Dorothy; daughters, Karen (Brian) Johnson and Denise Case, all of Winnebago; granddaughters, Brianna (Anthony Lamarca) Johnson of Cedarburg, Wis. and Kelli Johnson of Winnebago; numerous sister and brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by his parents; brothers, Harold, Gilbert, Herbert Jr. and Richard; and sister, Jean Beilke.
