Lost touch about 1980 or so, never could find wehere he went. Would really liked to have seen him before he passed, I am quite saddened by this..Thanks Jane for the update. Glen
Sorry to hear he passed, he lived up the same street from me, gave me my only broken bone horsing around at Ralston school, remember he was a sharp dresser as he worked in a clothing store, remember draging his car up and down the street trying to get it started.
Russell Greer Landis, 66, of Greeley died unexpectedly, Monday, January 13, 2014 at North Colorado Medical Center. Russell was born on October 20, 1947 in San Mateo, California to Robert and Geraldine (Hoile) Landis.
Russell lived in California and grew up in Belmont. He graduated from Carlmont High School 1965. After graduation he attended the College of San Mateo, where he received an Associate's degree. After college, Russell worked for Shasta Beverages, where he was a supervisor. On July 17, 1988, he married Ann Lieberman in Burlingame, California.
Russell co-founded a printing company called Belmont Litho in Belmont, California, where he worked from 1987 to 1995. The family moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon in 1995, where he was a partner in his printing business, Shasta Litho. In 2001, they moved to Greeley. He worked for Focus and then in February 2008, he went to work for Wal-Mart, where he was working currently as an Inventory Control Specialist at the 47th Avenue store. He had a very strong work ethic and was a wonderful provider.
Russell was a lifelong San Francisco 49ers fan. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to take trips to Estes Park. He was a gourmet cook and loved making food for his family. He enjoyed watching and learning from the Food Network. He was a diehard NASCAR fan. He loved Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and Richard Petty. Russell made a stained glass piece for Richard Petty in 1992 for the Richard Petty Fan Appreciation Tour, which he presented personally. This piece presently hangs in the Richard Petty Museum in Level Cross, North Carolina. Above all was his love for his wife and their son.
