Legendary local lawyer, 'Rusty' Russell, mourned - OrilliaMatters.Com

Orillia lawyer and active Rotarian whose long, storied career took him from early involvement with the famed Avro Arrow project to a leadership role in the field of municipal law has died. Wharton Duncan "Rusty" Russell passed away Thursday at the age of 93. He leaves behind his wife Catharine and daughter Ellen. "He was a great mentor to me," said long-time friend and partner Doug Christie, who joined Russell's practice in 1973. "His way of approaching any legal problem was to simplify it."

Russell later told a P...
