As Associate Dean, Russell was known for his tireless work to make improvements to the CBA undergraduate program. In addition, Russell was an internationally known scholar in the areas of information technology and information systems. However great his work and standing at the university and within the academic community, Russell always found time to be a family man. He lived by the motto, 'Family is number one.' He loved his life with Lisa, Christopher, Elizabeth, and little Sammy, and was always finding ways to bring new experiences into their lives. Relatives and friends will recall fond memories of gathering at his home to celebrate the holidays and life's important milestones. Russell is survived by his wife, Lisa, children, Christopher, Elizabeth, and Samuel, sister, Carole Ching, and nephew, Keoni Dunn. He was preceded in death by his parents, Rose and George Ching.
