This is very difficult time for Dr. Russell's family, as well Dr. Colin Standish and his family. Please remember them in your prayers. The ministry and person of Dr. Russell Standish will be greatly missed. We will share more details as they become available.

Moderators LynnDel Posted May 6, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 6, 2008 I looked at that link, chilco, and am surprised at the photo. Is that really Russell Standish? If so, he has changed tremendously since I last saw him. Quote LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That is indeed a picture of Russell Standish. This picture would have been taken sometime within the last 2 years, or so. I am just in receipt of the funeral details from Glenice Standish, Russ's widow. They are below. Date: Friday 9th May 2008 Time: 1.00pm Place: Lilydale Seventh-day Adventist Church (608 Hull Road, Lilydale, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) (Parking is available both at the church listed above as well as the Lilydale Baptist Church, directly opposite) Due to unanticipated delays in the coronial investigation there may or may not be a burial to follow. We have decided to go ahead with the memorial service in any case out of consideration for international attendees. This may be of interest to some forum members.

Moderators Nan Posted May 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2008 http://www.milduraindependent.com/index....0&Itemid=54 I have received this report from the Mildura newspaper reporting events. I hope they are able to go ahead with the burial today, the strain will be huge otherwise. And I am surprised coronial is a uniquely downunder word.

Procopius Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nan, the memorial service was carried out at 1:00pm on Friday, 9th of May. I flew from Brisbane to attend the service which was held at the Lilydale church. It was very well attended, showing how much respect many people have for Dr Standish. Not sure when Dr Standish's body will be released however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nan Posted May 11, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2008 That his body was not released was the possiblity that would drag out these rites for his family. I was sure the service would have been well attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
