“Our big brother,” said his sister Nicki. “Always had an appropriate or risqué joke for any occasion. With old fashioned values, a real man's man, who understood and protected a lady’s honour.
“Russell was a keen sportsman and a team player. He had great knowledge of sports trivia and had an outstanding memory for musical scores and never forgot a melody once he had played it. “Food was important to my big brother; we enjoyed replicating our traditional family recipes.
He invited me to eat with him often. I will always miss him.” Anyone with any information about the incident, including any relevant footage, is asked to email collision.
